There appears to be a campground nearby but I don't see a lot of nearby resources in terms of hotels/restaurants which would be a problem for a convention.

It looks incredibly similar to Summersville Lake in WV, which was my favorite until I took Snoopy to Seneca. They're both created by a damn, both have limestone cliffs, reportedly similar visibility, etc. The scenery and shore look exactly the same (both wonderful). Jocassee has the advantage of local support, which we don't have at Summersville but do at Seneca. Personally I'd vote for Seneca again, because it does have one thing that Summersville doesn't, and that's that the visibility remains good even right after massive rain. At Summersville the visibility is good, but only if the weather has been dry. Perhaps man made lakes get a lot more runoff than ones that have been around since the last ice age. I wonder whether Jocassee might be similarly fragile.
