Using the Facilities: Q&A on Hotels and Other Venues

When: Sunday, October 25, 2009, 12:00 to 13:00

Details:

Before the Elections Meeting I (Dawn Hewitt) will host a 1 hour panel on Hotels, the OCC and related matters.

Anyone who is interested in knowing about about the "Facilities" part of Kumoricon, or wants to talk venues on the forum or present ideas, I ask that you please come and attend this panel first.

In the meantime, myself and others will be doing more research to make sure we can answer as many questions as possible.

Topics I will be covering:

  • The Hilton, The Hilton and The Hilton – The only three hotels for cons larger than 2k attendees.
  • The Oregon Convention Center – Why it would be so hard for us.
  • Things that have shut other cons down, permanently, because they can no longer get hotel space.
  • Outside parks and why we cannot rent them.
  • General Meeting Space – why it sometimes takes us forever.
  • Coffee – It's about $65/gallon at a hotel. No, seriously.
  • Multi-venue options – If elevators fill up moving us between floors, the same thing will happen to buses between hotels.

For people who have interest in higher level positions at the con, this is also a great primer on how alot of the back-end stuff works. For us to grow we need more that more space, we need more people who will take on Manager and higher positions. We need more people who understand the ins and out of running a con.

The Annual Membership Meeting and 2010 Elections follows this presentation at 1:30 PM.
