I'm really hard pressed to see where someone spending $150/n saves the
conference $8k...
Again.. for the sake of example: Hotel requires 100 rooms occupied.
When they only get 99 rooms occupied, they charge an attrition fee to
the conference. In my example, it was an $8k charge. By getting one
more person (and bringing the count up to 100) they avoid that $8k fee.
That's just the way the hotels work. I don't know why -- it seems
illogical to me. But if they fail to make their minimum number of
rooms, they get charged ridiculous fees.
Dan Kimmel posted a more accurate fee, based on COMMON's actual
experience. He said COMMON would've been charged $160k this time around,
if it weren't for some skilled negotiations by COMMON's staff.
