On the subject, I talked to a friend who works for a convention services
company. for what we are doing, it will be worth the effort to talk face to
face with whoever it is we are getting rates from. I will be talking to a guy
who has done many of these negotiations about PyCon as soon as I get some
numbers I can run by him to get some tips for how to wheel and deal.
So far I have 600 attendees and $150 reg fee. which may be all there is.
hoping to hear how many/how much $ can be committed to by whoever it is that
will be committing.
