Players Conference?

[Bully]

Last week we had the UKPSF site and trade conference and at the event we had 25 trade stands, several speakers and 150+ delegates at the two day event. The event was a massive success and a first class social event.

At the event I had a long chat with Robbo and we bounced the idea of a similar event for players. So would you be interested in a one day event (no idea when or where yet) along the following lines.

• Trade stands representing the retail outlets in the paintball world
• Associated trade stands who could offer services to players.
• Select speakers from the world of paintball (UK and possibly the USA)
• Tech classes from the main marker suppliers
• Open forum like “Question Time”
• Chance to socialise with other players in the bar rather than at a paintball site
• Maybe approach some of the “gaming industry” to show their wares

This is just a few ideas to start the ball rolling.

Obviously this type of event does not come for FREE but with careful planning and support from the industry I think a modest entry fee for the day event of say £10 is realistic.

These are ideas to start the debate so please post your ideas

think its a good idea would have too be central uk too make it fair on the north and south guys though

some of the big tournament players giving tips and tactic talks and a reball game zone too test out the new markers on offer too see if you like them in game use

ye it sounds like a really good idea would definitely be awesome to have a reball zone there

other industries do it so why not paintball??

Excellent idea, Steve, and well worth paying to attend it - one tech class alone would make the fee worthwhlle.

 

[matty s]

yes !

 

[Leezo]

Very Good idea IMO. Having a main day for trying new equipment and seeing everybody's new kit would be awesome

Fantastic idea.

Maybe have a bar - with arm bands for over 18's.

 

[Rider]

sounds great.

liking the idea of a reball area - how about somewhere big enough for a 1-on-1 field?

 

[PornstaR]

oh yes!
very good idea

How about a reball Top Gun championship where you can play the reigning UK champion, who I believe is still Robbo?
