Re: COMMON - new "non-conference hotel registration rate"

the thing I STILL can not understand.  Why hasn't COMMON Management been
able to find attractive yet more cost effective venu's than those which

at MOM and why does it still fall on deaf ears?

In the case of Orlando, there's only one official venu, and it aint'
cheep...

As for the travel email posted earlier today....ever ride a cab?
