Quote from @Brooke Andrea:

Does anyone know where next year will be?  I couldn't make this year unfortunately...

They usually announce the next year’s location at the closing session of the current BPCon.   I suspect this year will be the same, so look for next year’s location at the end of this year’s BPCon (so in just about a month from now).  

 
best wishes. 

 Dan is correct, thanks for pointing this out Dan. @Brooke Andrea - next year's location will be announced at the end of this year's conference - and I can tell you next year's location will be SO fun (and back in the US!)

best wishes. 

 @Jay Hinrichs

After the closing keynote they announced the location of BP2025 and Jay will be happy to hear it is in Las Vegas (he has advocated for Las Vegas at least a few times).

I will say I enjoyed the lower attendance of this year compared to Orlando.  They were selling books 50% off so they would not need to haul them home.  Similar for many of the give aways; if you wanted a dozen BPCon shirts you could have got them.  This year was even smaller than San Diego.  I could find people fairly easy.

Add the excitement of a hurricane off the coast (resort shut down at 9 PM so workers could safely get home). 

I would say this was the least organized BPCon (no cevent App, poor email distribution, my workshop that was $300 had about 20% attendance rate) I have been to, with the worse room problems (both ac and hot water problems in my room), and the hurricane issue (they cancelled the meal but many of the restaurants required reservations that we did not make because we were expecting the meal), and in my opinion worse keynote speakers even when one was a repeat (I like David Greene keynotes, but …), I enjoyed this BPCon more than the others I attended. 

I suspect bpcon2025 to be much larger than this year.   Not sure how it would compare in size to Orlando.  I will likely be there but would prefer it to be small rather than large.

I expect I will see some of you in Vegas.  Jay, it would be my honor to meet you.

I agree that Vegas will likely be much bigger. Going international is more challenging, and I'm sure the weather kept some people away. I prefer larger crowds, but like you mentioned it wasn't all bad.

The communication on where to go and what to do could have been better, but I still had an amazing time! See you in Vegas!

@Casey L Klauser sorry missed your meet up. If you do anything more virtually I would be interested in attending.
