Branson Convocation - Branson enFORCEd October 23-26, 2008 Branson MO, Lodge of the Ozarks okay, here's the deal - My dad works for a ticketing company called Branson Ticket and Travel and they now work with Ryan International Airlines. They intend to have a Star Wars convention next october and wanted me to start getting the word out. The intent is not for this to be a local event but a national event with hopes that we get a lot of people, a lot of vendors, and a lot of assorted fun things like workshops, a parade, and participation from local shows. A convocation is "a group of people formally assembled for a special purpose" and so we thought it was very fitting to name it in tribute to the Jedi Convocations within the Star Wars cannon. so.... we're looking for suggestions as far as what to do to attract fans, how to get vendors, and what the policies would be when it comes to Lucasfilm participation since none of us have done this before. Thanks and I will keep you all informed and we will update this site frequently: bransonenforced.com - Steve Schaeperkoetter PS on a specific note I will talk to the planners sometime this month and see if we can have a space reserved for the cars. I seriously doubt there's a way to get the cars inside so it would be a space reserved outside. do post here if you are interested. there may even be a parade involved.

Aw, no! Is there no way to continue with the event, maybe by broadening the focus to include other sci-fi/fantasy universes? A general skiffy event will draw plenty of Star Wars fans.
Then again, if you've attracted the attention of the Lucas Police....
