Harrumph. The roomrate, the conference rooms, the banquet
costs -- gotta know all three to know how it's going to
work out because the hotels will give on one by making it
up on the other.
So we can't make much of this info. The thing is how to
tell them that without getting them POed.
Unless they have a draw as strong as Amano, I'm guessing
attendance will be lower than last year because of the
distance and mostly because of the cost. Given our
membership isn't signif bigger, I wouldn't guess the market
is signif bigger.
So I'd guess total attendance at about the Dallas level and
paid attendance about the same as Dallas. Any other
thoughts?
Also, we'll need the convention rate for rooms on Thurs and
a few on Sunday too for those folks that come early or
leave late or both. And total roomnights, we probably want
a bit more than 110, assuming we get about 1.25 roomnights
per registrant, including rooms the convention buys for
speakers and factoring 4 or 5 hotel-comped roomnights.
But hard to tell without a draft of the contract and then
plugging it into a spreadsheet and see where the
sensitivities are.
Larry, and the rest, you think we need to see a draft of
the hotel contract or what at this point?

All,
this is the response from the Marriot. The only thing I
could not give them was some idea how many people would
likely go for the Banquet on Saturday night. This will be
key as they appear to be willing to waive the conf room
costs based on that.
The Marriott is a full convention center. Lots of room
space that can be partitioned as necessary, it is also a
very nice hotel.
One other thing I need to check on is the shuttle
service, I will do that now.
Jim.

Jim,
Thanks for the call yesterday and thanks for your
interest in the Oakland Marriott City Center.
I?m pleased to offer a group rate of $105 for Nov 3 ? 5,
2006 based upon 55 rooms per night for Friday and
Saturday nights. (Nov 10 ? 12, 2006 is not available).
We would hold the Friday night reception/registration in
our 21st floor ballroom called AJ Toppers. The session
on Saturday would take place in 3 sections of our Calvin
Simmons Ballroom (at about 2700 square feet) and the
vendor areas would be in the 4th section of that same
Simmons Ballroom (that is 1100 square feet). We would
need to also use the Simmons Ballroom for the dinner
which would take about 2 hours to turn from classroom to
rounds. Since I don?t have your final schedule of events
I?m not sure if there is a two hour window between the
day?s meetings ending and the banquet. The auction would
then return to the Simmons Ballroom Sunday morning. All
room rental would be waived based upon having the banquet
dinner Saturday night.
I?ve attached a brochure to this e-mail but if you?d like
me to send you a full packet just let me know what your
address is and I can get that out to you. Please let me
know if you?ve got any questions or if anything in this
e-mail is unclear.
Regards,
Nolan
