The convention in 2010 began charging for admission, became two days, and changed locations to The Centre. For 2011, the convention moved to the Holiday Inn Evansville Airport Hotel, changed dates to April, and expanded to three days. For 2012 & 2013, the convention stayed in the same location with similar dates. The convention in 2015 was held at the Old National Events Plaza.
