<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Dear Friends,<br><br><br>>bid for holding the conference. For example, in Tamilnadu there are at
least <br>>10-15 colleges ready to host this kind of thing. If it was in
Kerala, the IT <br>>ministry itself would do it. It is similar in most
parts of the country - but <br>>for some reason we have never operated in
Karnataka, so my platter is empty <br>>there.<br>-- <br>>regards<br>>Kenneth
Gonsalves<br>>Senior Associate<br>>NRC-FOSS<br><br>I do agree with Kenneth's suggestion of holding in colleges. IIT's & Govt. colleges are flooded with too many events and so to filter they make venue available at a cost. Also the support is not adequate. <br><br>I don't know about other states but in Tamil Nadu, many College Management eagerly support not only in terms of Venue but also Buses to ply from major locations in the city.<br>So the question of college is outer or inside city doesn't matter much.<br><br> Most of them have good Air-conditioned Halls with LCD Projectors, Wi-fi and better internet connections in their campuses these days. <br><br>There may be some deficiency but that can be solved by our team visiting the campus and placing our requirement to them.<br><br><br>With regards,<br><br><span style="font-family: arial;"></span><font color="#800000" face="arial">Benedict Jayaprakash Nicholas,M.E.</font><div
