The fourth annual Idaho State Convention will be held Friday, April 20, through Sunday, April 22, 2012, at The Boise Hotel & Conference Center in Boise, Idaho.

For those of you that attended prior conventions, the Boise Hotel & Conference Center is the same location that was formerly known as the "Holiday Inn at Boise Airport".

This is the "must attend" event for all amateur radio operators (and anyone interested in amateur radio) in Idaho and the surrounding areas.  Each of the last three years we had approximately 500 people in attendance and we are expecting similar attendance this year.

The Convention will start at noon on Friday, April 20, and conclude with the raffle drawing starting at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday.

Some of the planned activities include:

• Saturday Morning Welcome and Keynote Address:  National, regional, & local leaders, and other VIP guests kickoff the 2012 Idaho State Amateur Radio Convention.
• Friday Evening Special Seminar featuring a guest speaker; spaghetti dinner included!
• Saturday Evening Banquet featuring a guest speaker.  Your choice of dinner entree: Steak, Chicken, or Salmon.
• Vendors and Exhibitors including Yaesu, Ham Radio Outlet, and many others!
• Seminars, Forums, & Training sessions! From "hands-on" technical workshops to informative seminars, there is something for everyone.
• Amateur Radio License Testing: Two testing sessions on Saturday.
• Consignment Sales & Tailgate Sales: Pick up some "treasures" or "Sell Your Stuff".
• Raffle and Door Prizes: Twenty radios with a total value over $5,000 plus many other items! Be sure to purchase your raffle tickets at the convention. The more that you buy, the better chance of winning!

We are still in the process of planning the 2012 convention, so be sure to frequently check our web site as we post additional details when they are finalized.

If you have any comments or suggestions, please send an e-mail to our Conference Coordinators, Raz Rasmussen W7RAZ or Don Lynn ND7L; their e-mail addresses are listed on the Contact Info page. We are always looking for suggestions, especially ideas for seminar topics and speakers.

We hope to see you at the 2012 Idaho State Convention.
