Time has slipped by me since I first proposed this idea on Friday, June 24, 2016 and proposed it again on Saturday, July 7, 2018; and before I knew it, almost two years have passed — but that does not mean that organizing an informal gathering of travelers is off the table.
Meet a Couple of BoardingArea Bloggers in the Atlanta Area March 2, 2020: Would You Be Interested?
In fact, I was contacted recently by
This would coincide nicely with the Hops in the Hangar Meetup in Atlanta during this coming weekend on Saturday, February 29, 2020 and Sunday, March 1, 2020; so if you are attending that event with other members of FlyerTalk and will be in the Atlanta area during the day on Monday, you may want to join us.
Of course, BoardingArea bloggers who are not based in the Atlanta area — as well as bloggers who are not even affiliated with BoardingArea — would be welcome to join us, if this concept comes to fruition.
A venue has not been chosen as of yet. I am not Georgia royalty, after all.
Adam — who used to write for Point Me To The Plane and is based in the greater Atlanta metropolitan area, as am I — had communicated with me via e-mail messages almost four years ago with the possibility of doing something similar; and one of the topics we discussed is the possibility of loosely organizing an informal meeting where you can meet with both of us…

Summary — or, More Appropriately — Your Thoughts
Please accept my apologies for not yet going further with this idea. Life simply got in the way — but I am as interested in doing this as ever; and feedback from readers of The Gate has been positive.
As this idea is still in its earliest of stages, there are no definite plans or itinerary; so I will defer to you: would you be interested in attending? If you did attend, about what would you be interested in discussing or learning? Should there be anything formal as part of this event?
I look forward to hearing your responses…
