'''Alternative '80''' was a multi-location event held 28 September 1980, hosted at the Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles and relayed via satellite to more than 50 locations.  Although national conventions had been held every previous year, this was not a convention and conventions were held only every other year from that point on.  It was described at the time as a "telethon". "Alternative '80" was also the name given to the [[Ed Clark]]/[[David Koch]] ticket.

'''Alternative '80''' was a multi-location event hosted in Los Angeles that was relayed via satellite to more than 50 locations.  It was not a business convention with platforms and bylaws but was either the final non-business national convention or it was something confusably similar (in addition to being completely unique in Libertarian Party history) that took place in lieu of one. This was also the name given to the [[Ed Clark]]/[[David Koch]] ticket.


The event included speeches from [[Ed Crane]], [[Nathaniel Brandon]], [[Dick Randolph]] (the only elected Libertarian public official at that time), [[Ed Clark]], and [[David Koch]].  Singer Tane McClure provided musical entertainment.
