Larry,

First off, I would like to thank you for attending the Pomona Gold Show! All reports are that it was a very helpful event for the prospecting industry, and many of the participants complimented us on how much information was available. I share your concern about a need for the lecture series. We have invested recently to improve the attendee experience in hopes everyone can take more away from the event. As Paul mentioned, we are moving our lecture series into a separate space to eliminate unnecessary noise. All of the remaining facilities will have a separate lecture hall, with a full line of informative lectures for the attendees.

The Pomona Fairplex was unable to offer a reasonable solution to this issue, so we were unable to offer lectures this year. We are already in talks with a number of venues to secure a solution which will allow us to offer this experience to our Southern California audience. We are hoping to announce our schedule within the next few months.

If I do not see you at any future Gold & Treasure Shows in 2015, I look forward to seeing you at the lecture series in 2016! Thank you for your support.

Thank you for addressing my concerns. I will see you next year.

Hit the nail on the head...my exact comment!  I saw the seminars briefed on the GPAA site...the video specifically about the Pomona Show.  One of the vendors said that he was to present a seminar, but they cancelled due to no room to setup the seminar.  This was my first show too...all the way from Maryland...what a bummer! On the plus side, my wife and I got to meet Kael Massie after having watched him for years on Gold fever...what a nice boy and boy has he grown!  Also got to meet Kevin Hoagland...a knowledgeable and pleasant person to speak to!
