Re: [802SEC] IEEE 802 Plenary Session Sponsors

Yes, but remember the targets we set last year for venues like this were for meeting space to be less than $350,000 if possible. We are around $325k for that at current exchange rates, the rest is because F&B is higher(at least it is only 15% higher than it was when we met there 3 years ago). The difference between then and now is we had a sponsor who paid for it and a better exchange rate. Bottom line, if we want the Non US, NNA venues at more affordable prices, we need sponsors. If we can not find sponsors, we said we would self sponsor.

Bob,
I'm surprised at the amount. Isn't that more than $1000 per attendee?

Up to $400,000 would be nice, but any contribution is gratefully accepted.
