Dear 7th Fleet,
Some exciting news, we are now able to announce the location coordinates for this year AND next year’s Region 7 Conference as well as dates.
It was my hope to bring this year’s conference back to the Jersey Shore in honor of the 30th anniversary of the very first Region 7 Conference in 1993 in Seaside Heights. Due to various obstacles we encountered, that is unfortunately not possible, at least this year and we needed to move forward.
I’d like to first thank my XO and our R7 chief of staff Adm. Jeff Victor for reaching out to a good number of potential locales and going over the cost factor and availability of said locations.
I requested Jeff to look into a two year arrangement if we ended up going back to our familiar midway point of the Double Tree Hotel in Cherry Hill NJ formerly known as the Crown Plaza and which has served us so well and also served as a former IC site and continues to host Monstermania twice a year. Our dates are Oct. 20-22, 2023 and Oct. 18-20 2024. You can make your hotel reservations via https://book.passkey.com/e/50645334
The cost of our R7 Conference is expected to be the same as last year that will cover food and materials for the conference A separate post concerning that will be made soon for conference signups. We’ll also have more information about panels on activity plans. I’d like to thank those who have already offered to take part in that during Shore Leave 43.
We look forward to seeing you in October and to celebrate the history of our Region, talk about the latest STAR TREK news, various series and much more as we gather in fun and friendship.
Sincerely,
Adm. Bob Vosseller
Region 7 Coordinator
