I think another event similar to the Gay Phoenix Forum could be extremely valuable. I know that the GPF was and it showed that such an event could be extremely well attended, be a tremendous success, and help a lot of people. I'd love to attend as many as I could.

Just don't see why another such event has to be set up on a time frame to compete with, rather than compiment, the other. Why not spring? Summer? Any other month of the year?

I'd hate to see what could have grown and blossomed in to an invaluable resource for all of us for many, many years to come get damaged by competing events that affect attendance and resources because that doesn't help any of us - even those that might attend both.

Hopefully timeframes will be such that as many people as possible - especially those with smaller sites and more constrained budgets - will be able to attend both and not have to choose one over the other.
