How "big" does a convention have to be to qualify to run this event. I have a local convention scheduled in October that last year seated around seven tables... and this year looks even bigger! The Shadow Lodge Event would be a nice addition to the schedule.
I don't think you'll have any problem getting approval from Josh. The con I'm organizing only has 6 tables scheduled for the Special.
If you can get at least 3 tables working together, then you're good to go.

Was planning to set up two tables of Shadow Falls on Absalom, Rebel's Ransom, and Infernal Vault for the Saturday night end-cap for Pathfinder at Brewfest, but would rather have the Shadow Lodge event. Of those, Rebel's Ransom and Infernal Vault are both set to run a second time through the course of the convention. To be honest, I only expect one table of each scheduled for this slot, with some possible overflow, and that only because we still have very few Tier 7-11 players locally.
If it is possible, I would like to request this so I can post it on Warhorn before any people sign up for the other events scheduled. I can cancel them and replace them with this, but that becomes harder to do once people have signed up.

This is my description of the event:
Throngs of Pathfinders crowd the Irorium for the Passion of the First Siege of Absalom, yet an ominous warning from Osprey casts a pall over the celebration. As a feature of the event, the infamous Pathfinder Charvion Eater-of-Bones will showcase his newest discovery from the depths of the Mwangi Expanse, the Cage of Spirit Echoes. Is it truly a benign conduit to those in the afterlife, or is it a medium for a fell purpose? This is a special scenario for large scale organized play, allowing any number of participants to play simultaneously and all have an impact on the adventure’s outcome. This is a Pathfinder Society Special designed for 1st to 11th level characters (Tiers: 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 8-9, and 10-11).
In a nutshell, it's a scenario that multiple tables may play simultaneously, each contributing to the ultimate success of the mission. Even a low-level table can sway the outcome.

What are these Shadow Lodge events?
A "Special" PFS scenario was written by Tim Hitchcock and is available to most PFS members who can assure Josh they could pull together three or more tables of players for a single simultaneous event. This year's Special is entitled "The Year of the Shadow Lodge", and several organizers have or will offer the event as a draw to their conventions or large gamedays. I think it first ran at PaizoCon 2010 and again at PaizoCon UK and then at GenCon. Does that help?

It is also one of the coolest gaming experiences I've ever participated in. It's one thing to have fun with a group of three tables, it was something else entirely to watch nearly 30 tables participate.

@Josh: haven't heard back form you yet. I know you are backlogged, but I have to get the pamphlets printed and the other events are filling up already. Please get back to me on the Year of the Shadow Lodge event. It is not too late to schedule it, but I do have a deadline.

If you show Doug Doug, we'll buy the beer.
I would love to drive down and play with you guys, but our own local gameday is scheduled for that weekend. After the 12 hour drive home from Dragon*Con this weekend, another roadtrip is not something I relish. Besides, how will you guys get to four stars if I keep volunteering at these conventions?

If you don't have an email from me, send me another reminder.
