2012 Early Television Convention

Give us your input on the 2012 Convention

The 2012 Early Television Convention was held on Friday, May 4, Saturday, May 5, and Sunday, May 6 at the Early Television Museum in Hilliard, Ohio. This year, lunch and presentations were at the museum. The Banquet was at Abners, 2 blocks from the museum.

Total auction sales were just under $10,000. Donations to the museum were just under $4,000, with some more pledged but not yet received. The donation total is a record for the convention. Thanks to all who donated.

We had 109 attendees, and 65 at the Saturday dinner, compared to 106 and 62 last year.

Thanks to the presenters and all who helped with making this a great show.
