August 15, 201212 yr All--I would like to propose this new topic. I know we have posted convention news under the CCMM thread, but that is supposed to be more about construction. Also, there are other venues for events in the city. As such, this topic could be for all future convention announcements. And I'll start with the next post.....
August 15, 201212 yr This is a cool event -- and is open to the public. Airliners International 2013 -- Cleveland June 26 -- 29, 2013 Sheraton Cleveland Airport Hotel The World's Largest Airline Collectibles Show & Convention! The Airliners International Collectibles Show and Convention, now in its 37th year, makes its first Cleveland appearance in June 2013. The three-day annual event will draw commercial aviation enthusiasts from around the globe. http://ai2013cle.com/
August 15, 201212 yr Apparently the old familiar name "Auto-Rama" will cease to exist. The I-X Center bought the show and will merge it with their Power Piston show, though the surviving dates of the show (March) will be Auto-Rama's. http://www.crainscleveland.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20120813/FREE/120819956
August 15, 201212 yr I am going to cross-post in the MMCC construction thread since it mentions some construction :evil: Cleveland's new convention center bags another health-related conference The Cleveland convention center and medical mart has bagged another event. The 2014 CleanMed Conference & Exposition will be held at the under-construction trade show complex in downtown Cleveland May 12-16, 2014. The conference on environmental sustainability in the health care field is expected to attract 1,000 hospital administrators, physicians and other hospital staff and 100 exhibitors.

August 15, 201212 yr Dang, have you guys seen this? http://ohiofestivals.net/2011-festival-schedule/ Nice find, thanks!
August 22, 201212 yr shameless self-promotion that's also related to entertainment in Cleveland. I am appearing in both of these. Message me if you want deets about the latter, since it is several shows over several days. Pandemonium, CPT's annual gala benefit (tix are $135) is Saturday, Sept 8. It is a FABULOUS PARTY full of debauchery and amazement. Like Mardi Gras, but more contained, and with professional performers. At least, we're professional until the last set of performances, by which time we're usually half in the bag. http://www.cptonline.org/theater-show.php?id=186 Springboard, CPT's staged reading festival (which doesn't mean anything to you except plays, but shorter, for which the actors have had very little rehearsal) is October 11-21. Tix are only $10! : http://www.cptonline.org/theater-show.php?id=189 Please come out and support local theater and local actors!
August 22, 201212 yr Greek festival in CH is this weekend. http://clevelandheights.patch.com/articles/sts-constantine-and-helen-greek-festival-starts-thursday The wife will actually be there working the pastries booth this Saturday night if you want to stop by and sympathize with her having to deal with me (in person) on a daily basis...
August 22, 201212 yr Love the GF! I will definitely be there some point this weekend. Maybe Sat. If so, I will have to guess who Mrs. Hts is. I grew up on Compton (the side St the church is on the corner of) and used to get paid when I was a kid to empty the trash at the festival.
August 22, 201212 yr ^She'll be the one with the fake diamond ring on (or not.... if there are some cute greek guys wandering around :()
August 27, 201212 yr Not new to CLE, but new to the MMCC: Ohio Optometric Association to move conference to Cleveland's new convention center By JAY MILLER 2:04 pm, August 27, 2012 "The Ohio Optometric Association's annual EastWest Eye Conference will move to the under-construction Cleveland Convention Center in 2013, 2014 and 2015.

The conference dates are Oct. 3-5, 2013; Oct. 9-11, 2014; and Oct. 1-4, 2015....." http://www.crainscleveland.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20120827/FREE/120829843
August 28, 201212 yr Another conference slated for the CCMM. "The Ohio Music Education Association (OMEA) has agreed to hold its Professional Development Conference in Cleveland in 2015, 2017 and 2019. Attendees at these three conferences are expected to fill more than 2,575 hotel rooms in downtown Cleveland in a Thursday-Sunday pattern during January and February, according to a news release. This will bring a direct economic impact expected to exceed $2.8 million. More than 9,000 people attended OMEA’s 2012 conference...." http://www.newsnet5.com/dpp/news/local_news/cleveland_metro/cleveland-medical-mart-and-convention-center-books-large-music-education-conference

The news never reports that number.
August 28, 201212 yr ^ I agree. Its also too difficult to figure out the number based on the article--- "Attendees at these three conferences are expected to fill more than 2,575 hotel rooms in downtown Cleveland in a Thursday-Sunday" Assuming check in on Thurs and out on Sunday is 3 nights, so 2575 divided by 3 nights divided by 3 separate years would be 286....that doesn't seem right...if they meant 2,575 room nights, then it would be 2575 / 3 conferences which is 858 which also seems low if 9,000 people attended the last one...
August 29, 201212 yr I would assume they meant 2575 rooms filled per night from the way it was worded.
August 29, 201212 yr Well I'm back from Europe and I started watching the Daily Show with my free time and decided...time to update Sept!
August 29, 201212 yr This looks like a great event. Held at the InterContinental Bank of America Conference Center Amphitheater. 2012 Medical Innovation Summit Orthopaedic Technologies | October 29-31 2012 "CLEVELAND, AUG. 28, 2012 — /PRNewswire/ -- Cleveland Clinic's 10th Annual Medical Innovation Summit – Innovative to the Bone! will bring together more than 1,000 executives, investors, entrepreneurs and clinicians Oct. 29 to 31 to assess the state of healthcare innovation and share insights on the hottest orthopaedic technologies. The meeting will be capped by a presentation of the "Top 10 Innovations" that will have a breakthrough impact on healthcare next year...." http://www.heraldonline.com/2012/08/28/4218828/cleveland-clinics-2012-medical.html Agenda is here: http://www.clevelandclinic.org/innovations/summit/about/agenda.html
August 29, 201212 yr Well I'm back from Europe and I started watching the Daily Show with my free time and decided...time to update Sept! Hmm, anything to anticipate in world photos thread? Welcome back! Looking forward to Ingenuity on the lakefront this year.
August 29, 201212 yr ^Just curious---anyone have any idea how big the InterCon's convention facility is, in terms of square footage and accommodations for a 'keynote speech' type layout?
August 29, 201212 yr Wonder if Cleveland could get one of the political national conventions next time around. Might still be a hotel room availability issue though.

Welcome back! Looking forward to Ingenuity on the lakefront this year. I did post a few from the Olympics here: http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php/topic,27687.30.html Not sure if I can compete with the other photo threads that get posted here though...so I'll stick to making lists of events and projects...
August 29, 201212 yr Wonder if Cleveland could get one of the political national conventions next time around. Might still be a hotel room availability issue though. Interesting. I would think Cleveland would have a similar number of rooms that a Charlotte has, but perhaps not Tampa?
August 29, 201212 yr Apparently Fitzgerald wants to see it happen: http://www.wkyc.com/news/article/258230/45/FitzGerald-predicts-Cleveland-will-land-convention . There's no news in that link---but it demonstrates there's interest in bringing a D-/R- NC here.... We got four years!
August 29, 201212 yr Another cool meeting: 2012 Oral History Association Annual Meeting October 10 – 14, 2012 Cleveland Marriott at Key Center Was held in Denver last year. The convention hotel is the Marriott, but its interesting to note they offer their attendees cheaper digs as well and mention the new hostel in Ohio City. Tours for the convention include the West Side Market and the Cultural Gardens.... from their website: About OHA The Oral History Association, established in 1966, seeks to bring together all persons interested in oral history as a way of collecting and interpreting human memories to foster knowledge and human dignity. With an international membership, the OHA serves a broad and diverse audience. Local historians, librarians and archivists, students, journalists, teachers, and academic scholars from many fields have found that the OHA provides both professional guidance and a collegial environment for sharing research. http://www.oralhistory.org/annual-meeting/201-oha-annual-meeting/

September 4, 201212 yr A few more adds. ^Your photo updates of projects throughout the cities are some of my favorite posts here. As well as your awesome development lists! CO, much thanks for the kind words!
September 6, 201212 yr The Cleveland Tango and Bowling Marathon! Lakewood, September 7 – 9 2012 http://clevelandtangomarathon.com/ The Cleveland Tango and Bowling Marathon is an all inclusive event for dancers and non dancers. Located at MAHALLS 20 Lanes 13200 Madison Avenue in Lakewood Ohio I intend for this event to have many purposes First of all I want to bring something back home. I love Cleveland for many reasons and although I can not live there any more I do wish to return and bring back all the things and people whom I have met and befriended outside of Cleveland. I want to create an event that allows EVERYONE to participate in some way. Tango is not only about being the best dancer. It allows us the opportunity to be better people for ourselves and those around us. It gives us a sense of social responsibility and awareness of who we are in respect to those around us. The affect we have on others and how we can make that affect more positive. I want to bring my friends together and bridge the gaps in communities. Especially in small tango communities where the gaps are HUGE and pointless because everyone is fighting about nothing that has anything to do with the what I believe to be the purpose of this dance.
September 6, 201212 yr Taste of Painesville Thursday - September 6, 2012 Kick Off - 5 pm to 10 pm Main Street Downtown Painesville http://tasteofpainesville.webs.com/about.htm http://www.mainstreetpainesville.org/

Mrs. Kahr wrote a highly acclaimed book about Edgar Brandt, the French master of Art Deco ironwork. Mrs. Kahr will also discuss Cleveland's Rose Iron Works, and the role of Paul Feher, the very talented Hungarian designer who came to Cleveland in the late 1920s to work with Martin Rose--a collaboration that produced the finest Art Deco metalwork in America. The museum is open until 9 pm on Fridays; the lecture and admission to the regular collection are FREE. Mrs. Kahr will be available to sign copies of her book, and we will give away one copy of the book to those in attendance.

September 7, 201212 yr I was fortunate enough to tour the Rose Iron Works a few years ago before Mr. Rose died. It's really fascinating, and definitely worth your time if you've got any interest in Cleveland history.

November 30, 201212 yr I can't figure out which is worse..... the 'look at me, I'm cool because I'm flippin the double bird' pose..... or the ruffles on his shirt. I'm leaning towards the ruffles.
November 30, 201212 yr Ha! Julien's a personal friend of mine and I can assure you he's the furthest thing from a db you can imagine. Well, he's as okay as you can get being a weak-kneed Hollywood LIBERAL. :wave: I'm not going to stick up for that outfit however.
