Understood, but you are fortunate to find cheap airfares from where
you happen to live. Also note that the meeting rooms have to be paid for,
either by filling our room block at the main hotel, or with hard cash.
Brian,
He is already staying at some other hotel. Are we having a problem
filling the room block.
I don't have the numbers for Dallas yet, but it's a concern for every
meeting where the meeting rooms are free unless we don't fill the block.
More generally, how does the question of lower attendance fees and
broader participation have anything to do with the room block?
Because money is fungible. More people paying a lower fee who
all stay at a budget hotel might make the overall budget better
or worse; it just depends how the numbers work out.
