Where will the American Bonsai Society be hosting its 2025 convention?

Last I heard, location and specifics were still TBD. But, yes, there will be one.

Wow. Who can agree to host and prepare for a convention in under a year? My guess is that it will be a piggyback on some preexisting state convention.

I'm sure they have the venue booked by now. They just haven't announced it yet which I agree is weird.

I'm usually one of the first to hear about it. Last I talked to them, this was the status. I'll check with Karen and report back.

They've been in discussion with a few folks for most of this year. Just hadn't been finalized yet.

My understanding is that is going to be tied with the US National show next year.

Interesting since ABS is usually in spring and the National show is September

Until it's officially announced, better to not count your chickens.

But yes, I had heard this as well.
Along with a few other possibilities.

Not necessarily true. "usually" is a strong word. Really depends on the hosting society/org/location.
