See: https://photonlexicon.com/forums/sho...tember-29-2018!
Also, one of the co-hosts is PL member "planters" who runs this awesome and popular Youtube channel: Tech Ingredients.. and he's a super fascinating guy in person! Check out his earliest videos building massive and cool laser projectors, which he's brought to NELEM.
There is also nwlem in the Portland Oregon area
Been to all of these. Why limit yourself to just the US? There's also the UKLEM and CaribLEM which are both great as well as the DutchLEM that I still hope to get to someday.
There was also a SoCAL LEM many years ago and there was another one planned in the Great Lakes region but, I don't recall if it ever actually happened.
The German Laserfreak conference was first (and is still the biggest), so they belong at the top of any list. But regarding "LEMs" in particular, we have
SELEM
FLEM
UKLEM (Both Surfleet and Show-LEM)
NWLEM
Caribb-LEM
TEXLEM
NELEM
SoCAL-LEM
Dutch-LEM
Camp-LEM (Picasso and Lazerman532 can provide details)

Been in Texas more than 10 years now. Have heard about the idea of TEXLEM, but never seen one actually go down.
There can only be one.
Shame they lost the venue. It was in San Antonio. I can actually say, "Been there, done that and yes... I actually DO have the t-shirt!" :) (And a lanyard!)Quote:

TEXLEM was a year before you joined us....
MYB you-and/or others near DFW can seek a good venue.
It need not be perfect and as we know many first LEMs are not always well attended, BUT you can count on better attendance the following year.
Questions you need to ask/answer for the first DFWLEM.
COST-- afaik most first LEMs are underfunded-=-thus the organizers may have to pay most of the costs. BUT on the upside a cheaper venue can be okay.
'Indoor camping' allowed?
Any issues with loud music?
parking?
parking for campers? power?
water hook=up is great but not a deal breaker IMHO
showers? in venue?
Kitchen?
Place outdoors to play with our quads?
Good weekend cost to use? Can we get in early to set up?
220V ? there might be some gassers that need that?
MYB Ask about fire alarms-- foggers/hazers can set them off--but we can disable temp. (cover with shower cap)
Both the PD and the FD need be on our same page with us.
they need our cell numbers and we may want to invite some to attend.
Donations for doorprizes are needed--(we can count on AixiZ as always)
I understand that ATM we do not know for sure that a LEM will be allowed. (COVID) .....look for venues with for sale or rent signs. AND ask the questions. OR they may know of other options.
hope to visit you soon--hak

update
IMHO any laser gathering with two or more forum members and one or more RGB laser projectors and music--is a LEM.
STEXLEM was like that- 3 members 3 projectors -- we partied unto dawn..my local friends are still asking when will we do it again.
