Yeah I'd be surprised if it didn't return. I didn't think the previous year was that poorly attended? Also, Stephen Amell, co-owner of the HVFF convention, has said in his previous panels that they consider San Jose to be their 'home base' since I think the first HVFF was held in SJ and that they would always love to bring HVFF back every year if they can. My guess is that since the Portland HVFF is going to be late November this year, they won't be able to hold one in December for SJ like they did in the past 2 years so they'll possibly push the SJ date to early 2020 instead.
