Don't ever think COMMON doesn't go the amenities route. Why do you think
they don't go to places like Kansas City or Cincinnati anymore?

When I brought this up way back when, COMMON trotted out some attendee
survey results that supported their decisions to go to the fancy schmancy
places like Orlando, San Diego, Nashville, et al.

Frankly, I enjoyed Indianapolis as a venue. Baltimore was nice, too. If they
ask me (and they never will), COMMON should rotate through 3 towns: Anaheim,
San Antonio, and Atlanta. Easy to get to, and the weather is never much of
an issue.

Jerry,

Typically the venue's other than COMMON or IBM tech conferences pick their
location with amenities in mind. I suppose in an effort to get enrollment
fees from those who want an all expense paid vacation and who may never
attend the conference. Some of these are so far out that my boss simply
calls them "compucruises" and quickly discards their flyers.
