2008 Conference Update

I am meeting with 2 Hotels tomorrow and Friday.

The information I have provided to them so far is about 250 people plan to attend and we will need between 100-150 rooms.

Depending on which hotel gives us the best deal, that is who I am going with.

I need to know how many people plan on staying at the hotel, especially if your local. Once I sign the contract I will be locked into the room count and will be responsible for rooms not used.

Please use the poll I have included so I can get an idea of how many people will be staying at the hotel.

The room rates that have been discussed with each hotel is $99.00 a night. This includes singles, doubles and quads.

Dates Oct 3-5 2008

Friday Meet and Greet- Cash Bar, appetizers and Clothing Exchange

Saturday- Conference- Guest Speakers, Chef, PT and Nutritonist- working lunch then break out sessions

Saturday- Fall Fling- dancing and cash bar

Sunday- Closing with Successful Bandster stories

Good luck with the 2 hotels!!! I answered that no I won't be staying in the hotel just because I don't know where it is and how close that is from my house. I do have to stuff like feed my dog and things which is usually my task on the weekends so I would have to know what hotel it is and where before I make a decision on if I will be in the hotel or not. I figure it's best to answer no and maybe stay than to answer yes and then not stay. Keep me posted!

My two cents are that if you are soliciting only from this site good luck getting 20 people to attend.

I tried to get a group together for Las Vegas this past January and NO ONE showed up. Mind you it wasn't a conference, it was just a LBT let's all meet kind of thing.

I will be staying in a hotel. But having two threads is a might bit confusing...

Thanks for the heads-up on the two threads.

I have actually created a blog, where I will be putting all the updates and hotel information.

Once I get the info on the hotel I will be posting it on the blog.
