RE: Conference locations in the East

Paul,

I like Chicago and Boston, but I find them both to be just way toooo expen$ive.

There will be only one big conference per year in the future. If it were
to be held every spring in Chicago, how would people feel about that?
Would they still attend? One good thing is that attendees could take the
train to downtown from either airport.

RE: Conference locations in the East






I went to the fall conference in Miami Beach as a first time attendee.  It
was great.  Stayed in a five star oceanfront hotel on the beach for $159 a
night.  Flight from Chicago was just over $200.
I think COMMON should stop changing the locations and have at least one
conference in the same place every year.  Changing it all the time gives
management the impression that it's a travel and leisure type of thing.
There would be less of that if every September the conference was held in
Miami or Phoenix or Rochester, etc.
I would think COMMON could negotiate even better rates if they could
promise to come back to, lets say the Loewe's, every September.  I believe
it would be easier on the speakers to go back to the same place every year
too.

Since I'm in Atlantic City right now ...

How many of you folks would find it desirable/practical to attend a
System i
conference in this fair town?   Room rates aren't bad. And the place is
nowhere near as tacky as I had expected.

Just wondering if I should be checking it out for future events.
