2013 Early Television Convention

The 2013 Early Television Convention was held on Friday, May 17, Saturday, May 18, and Sunday, May 19 at the Early Television Museum in Hilliard, Ohio. We were back at the Makoy Center for lunch and dinner.

This year, we tried something new. We scheduled the convention the same weekend as the Dayton Hamvention. This was in response to a large number of requests to try this. We got some Hamvention guests at our convention, and this allowed our attendees to go to the swapmeet at Dayton on Friday and still attend our convention. The response to this decision was overwhelmingly positive, so we will do this next year.

Attendance this year was 115, up from 108 last year.
