Default Meat & Greet 2007 - Any Plans for One?

Aloha Ya'll!!!

I joined Lowcarber.org last year not too long before the Las Vegas Meat & Greet. I wasn't able to attend, but offered to help where possible for planning of a 2007 meeting. I'm in Hawaii, so the extent of my help may not be big, but here I am!!!

Has anyone discussed doing one for this year or next year? Perhaps if too big a project to do along, perhaps in conjunction with a low carb food trade show already in planning stages.

Many mahalos!!!!!

I'd be interested in something like this too. I wasn't able to go last year, but if there were something this year or next year, I'd like another chance to participate.

I helped plan the Vegas one and would be willing to help again, it was such fun. Maybe not this year, but 2008 sounds great, and more time to plan it.

Just let me know,
Gen

I think a meet up later in 2008 (summer or fall) would be good so we have time to get a big following. I'm not sure who the last one included. Was the information spread to other LC forums as well?

Hi all, just popping in from my usual haunts....

I couldn't make it last year because of timing but I would be interested in a 2008 Meat and Greet.

Not sure how much help I could be from here though....

My "dream" Meat 'N Greet event would take place over a weekend. It would be like a conference with classes, cooking demos and lots of socializing/networking. An exhibit hall would include something of a "trade show" with low carb product companies -with samples and products, books for sale. Maybe even a sponsored cookoff.

If that can't happen, the next best thing would be a networking event in a town that has a low carb restaurant or caterer(s) or stores to visit. Everyone brings favorite recipes to exchange/share. Have a couple of classes or other events.

I'm here to help offer ideas or help plan, but a new job prevents me from leading the charge :-(

Default Meat 'N Greet 2010?

A few years back, one or more of the members of this group planned a "Meat 'N Greet", I think in Las Vegas. I was unable to attend at the time, but thought it a great idea.

Lowcarbers networking, having some speakers, maybe a mini-trade show with some products, a little education.

From what I heard this 2006 meeting went really well. Lots of lowcarbers out there, lots of consumers to reach! Maybe if there was a low carb food trade show, plan a Meat 'N Greet in conjunction with it?

Are there any plans for a future meeting?
