I like hanging out with the usual suspects, and I’m not a big fan of Vegas, but planning a trip from the other side of the world to hang out is something Mrs Dwight views as marginal… 
I haven’t missed a Basecamp yet, but if it’s another mega-event in Vegas, I might finally earn myself a year on the couch.
I really was not fond of the Vegas location or the combining of Basecamp with Trimble’s other event. My favorite Basecamp so far was 2018, but the weather was quite warm for me, coming from the west coast of Washington State.
2018 was great, and especially for meeting some of the sages like @Box and @DaveR who haven’t been back since. I thought about 2016 (the last one in Colorado, yes?), but missed it because I thought about it too long and it sold out. I wonder if returning to home base in Colorado would offer some cost savings to the company for reduced logistics. As much as Las Vegas isn’t as great a setting as the others, I did set aside one evening for a personal photo walk down the strip and ended up with a photo or two that got into two juried photo shows since then. Still, I met some familiar faces and some new ones as well that made it all worth it.
I have really enjoyed meeting folks at 3DBC. 2018 was very good but I also liked Vail and Steamboat. Maybe those better because it wasn’t so hot.
My guess is returning to Colorado isn’t likely. I talked with a couple of the organizers/logistics people about why they went to Palm Desert and they said that Basecamp had gotten too big for the available venues in Colorado.
I miss going to Basecamp but as long as it’s in Vegas and in November it won’t happen for me.
Steamboat is where we met in person! Sadly my only BaseCamp (but I did get to do several AIA shows with the SKP team). I also won’t return to Vegas… (or the US for now, unless there is a family emergency).
I think the general consensus is that most people don’t want to go to Vegas, I wonder why?
I tried finding anything on the Trimble website with regards to a possible upcoming Basecamp in November and I am coming up empty. Is there no Basecamp planned for 2026?
I had a great time attending 3DBasecamp Vancouver. However, @mikebrightman’s SketchUp 3D summit in Denver during the past two summers was absolutely incredible - learning, relationships, exciting, variety, experts - WOW! So sorry to miss 2026 - but I highly recommend attendance.
SketchUp 3D Summit in Denver is the ultimate! I left energized and inspired. Can’t wait to be back this June!!
