CANvention 38 Events

TUESDAY, August 26
No official activities planned but you don't want to miss out on some of the best room-to-room trading and the beer station “Watering Holes” to quench your thirst.

WEDNESDAY, August 27
The CANvention officially opens on Wednesday, but the trading begins earlier. Daytime room-to-room is encouraged. On both Tuesday and Wednesday nights “watering holes” will be set up on each floor with free beer. You’ll get special signs for your door to let people know you’re open for deal-making. The hotel is easy to navigate. There are two wings on each floor and approximately 20 rooms in each wing. Four spacious elevators move you from floor to floor.

THURSDAY, August 28
The Trade Floor officially opens at 9am and setting up is a breeze from either the parking lot right outside the convention center or from your hotel room via the covered walkway. There are no stairs to navigate from Tower II, and going back and forth from the trade floor to your room takes just minutes. The BCCA Board of Directors meeting is scheduled for Thursday afternoon. All BCCA members are welcome to attend. Time and location will be in your agenda booklet. On Thursday night you’ll enjoy the many fine micro beers from Florida while greeting your BCCA officers and board candidates, and chatting with representatives from future CANvention sites.

FRIDAY, August 29
The BCCA General Business Meeting begins at 8:30am. The trade floor will open at 11am following the meeting. Everyone attending the General Business meeting will receive a special gift.. Display viewing begins at 1pm on Friday in the Antigua Meeting Room right across from the trade floor entrance. With easy access from the parking lot to the Convention Center for display setup, this is THE year to think about entering a display! Competition details and the sign-up form will be in the Jun/July magazine. Categories and prizes are the same as last year. Friday late afternoon and evening activities include many chapter gatherings, and you don’t want to miss the Jersey Shore Luau Friday night outside the Convention Center on the Boca Patio.

SATURDAY, August 30
The trade floor opens at 8am for members, and at 9am to the public. At High Noon, the Rusty Bunch opens their dump to kids and collectors to pick out as many cans as they can carry for their collections. The dump is followed by a Mega BCCA raffle. All items are valued at $50 or more, and raffle tickets will be sold beginning Thursday on the trade floor, where items will be on display for viewing. The trade floor closes at 3pm, just in time to get ready for the BCCA Awards Banquet. The celebration starts at 5pm Saturday with a cocktail hour. A “Caribe Royale” dinner buffet will be served followed by the awards ceremony.
