Does anyone know the location of the US Go Congress in the year 2012 (NOT 2011) ? P.S. Please don't answer "yes". |

Rumor at Congress was that the most serious interest seems to be from Boston. Atlanta was mentioned also. But these are not firm. If neither of them comes to fruition, we may need someplace else. |

I heard something about it taking place in North Carolina. I'm probably definitely wrong here, but I can't remember where I heard it. |

I got some new info. We in Alabama had some leadership changes in our clubs, and we had a power and money hungry leader who wanted it in Birmingham so he could have the $10,000 for him self. We have now allied with atlanta go clubs leader, and he has agreed to hold the 2012 or 2013 if we help him work out all the small stuff. Though it has been a while since we have talked to him about this we will be talking and working out the details this summer. |

Please inform him that it is customary for him to come to the prior year's congress and present his proposal at the AGA business meeting there. Such proposals usualy include - at least - a specific location and an approximate budget. Personally, I like the idea of Atlanta. It has a big airport, and I've been wanting to see their aquarium ( only whale sharks in captivity outside of Asia ). |

Yes. And it's looking probable that 2013 will be in chicago or Madison. 2014 may be a joint production with the CGA, in Canada. Vancouver and Toronto were talked about as possibilities. |

I could use the pizza. |

Unless we can get a super deal in Madison, I vote for Chicago. From the west coast, traveling to Chicago is a full day. A 4-hour flight, 2 hours time differential, waiting in airports, and transit to/from airports takes up a whole day. |

28th Annual US Go Congress August 4 - 11, 2012 at beautiful Black Mountain, North Carolina. The Triangle Go Group is extremely pleased to once again serve as the local sponsor of the US Go Congress. After successfully hosting the 2006 Go Congress near Black Mountain we received many positive comments on the location and feel of the site, so it was easy to decide to host the 2012 Go Congress at the same location. The site has a southern atmosphere with sophisticated undertones, creating a relaxed yet engaging climate to pursue our favorite mind sport. Join us on the edge of the Appalachians and enjoy the comraderie, education, recreation and fun that is part of the week long US Go Congress. |
