If the Committee wants us to refine the venue cost estimates for a different
configuration before making a decision, I'm happy to do that. FWIW, if we
had to rent the Ballroom for the whole week that would double our venue
costs - but to rent it for, say, 3 hours at the beginning of the week and 3
hours at the end would only increase the total venue expense by about 10%,
and less than that if we used Hoffmann Hall instead of the Ballroom.
Let me know if it'd be helpful for the venue discussion to rerun the
projections with Hoffman Hall or Ballroom reserved only for
opening/closing plenaries.
