A convention run by ESFA each March from 1946 to 1971 which the club insisted was merely an open meeting of the club with a program, but with no business conducted. For many years it was held at the Newark YMCA. The Open ESFA remained a one-day affair long after most other regionals went to two or three days. The convention usually had a main speaker or special honoree, but not always a GoH as such.
