Former Board Administrator
Dan,
Dont get too hung up on the "cruise" thing. The cruise was a special event, and not even a big part of the convention. It was an optional event, to complement the annual meeting, and to celebrate the PWNA's Tenth Anniversary. It's not like we're going to be hosting cruises all the time.
In regards to where the money goes for a show, it costs an immense amount of money to run a show like this. The hotel bill alone is a fortune. The PWNA does not make money from these shows. From what I understand, on a couple of occasions, they have lost money on the deal.
