[Mldxcc] IDXC 2013: Location Change To Visalia Convention Center

[John Miller]

The 64th Annual International DX Convention sponsored by the Northern California DX Club will be held at the Visalia Conference Center in downtown Visalia, California from April 19-21, 2013. 

We are excited about this change.  The beautiful Visalia Convention Center, will provide us with many advantages for the 2013 meeting.  The Convention Center has 17 meeting rooms and 2 Board Rooms, which will allow us to put together several concurrent presentations.

The Center can easily handle 80 to 100 Vendors in their Exhibit Hall, as well as a banquet for 1,000 attendees.  Any vendor wishing to Exhibit at IDXC 2013 will be guaranteed a space.  Anyone wishing to attend the Saturday evening banquet will be guaranteed a seat.

There is ample free parking in the area.  For a small daily fee, RV visitors will be able to park in a special section in the parking lot.

Food and beverage needs will be catered by the recently remodeled Marriott Hotel, which is the host hotel immediately adjacent to the Convention Center.

Currently we are working with the Visalia Visitors Bureau to finalize hotel arrangements for the Convention.  We will use their Passkey system for registration at the Marriott as well as a number of other Convention hotels in the area. 

Please check the IDXC website during the week of June 18, 2012 for more information about booking rooms for the Convention.

You can use either of these domain names to get there:   dxconvention.org      or     dxconvention.com

We look forward to a successful IDXC meeting next year !
