We've done that in the past, I seem to remember.

I agree.  Conventions are something our members clearly want.  Even those 
who don't participate directly benefit from the trickle down of information. 
I can think of no better way for us to spend our money, as long as we do it 
wisely.  Larry and Scott have beaten down this contract about as far as I 
think it's going to go.  There are good reasons for holding the convention 
in Atlanta, even if we know it will cost more than some venues might.  We 
knew DC would be expensive, and that turned out OK, in spite of some rough 
edges.  From what Scott has said about the numbers, it sounds like it will 
work in Atlanta too.
