Survey on interest in a mid-Atlantic telephone conference & show

[agoldber3]

Naveen Albert and I are evaluating the possibility of hosting a telephone conference and show this year. The event would take place with the generous support of the Computer Museum (https://museum.syssrc.com/) at its highly-suitable facility close to Baltimore in Hunt Valley, MD. Tentative dates are in July and August.
 
We'd like to get an indication of the level of interest for such an event.
 
2026 is the 150th anniversary of Bell receiving his patent for the telephone. Associated with the anniversary, and simply because it is a good thing to do, the event should be more than a swap meet among existing collectors. Being close to a large city, we'd like the event to be more explicitly educational for the public. To make this happen, we would emphasize publicity beyond the collector community and encourage content of interest to the public. As a byproduct, we would hope that the event might stimulate some interest in historical telephony, and also bring in some new buyers!
 
We'd like  to know what you think.of this concept: We've posted a survey here. (https://forms.gle/H1f4FLqxXFRfAWhM7) It describes some of the ideas we're considering, as well as requesting your ideas. Please spend a few minutes with it.
