Can you publish the space rental and catering costs for each location in an itemized fashion? There are >25 attendees to the forum. I am curious how you're exceeding $5000 for three days for any location. I'm organizing a conference (SAAHPC) at Argonne where we are paying literally nothing for the space for three days. My wife organizes events at the University of Chicago all the time and none of them cost more than $1000/day unless there are hundreds of people attending.

The meeting cost was $200 - somewhat of a surplus was built up, so we dropped it to $125 for a while. I suppose we can just keep it at the fixed price of $200. There are meetings (usually away from the US) that we do not even come close to covering with registration, and we simply can't run a deficit.

How come registration is $200 rather than the usual $125? �I remember the last meeting in Chicago was $200 because we had to book the Wild Fire restaurant for Wednesday, but we're doing the whole week at the Microsoft facilities, and all the previous such meetings were $125. �The meeting registration costs seem kind of arbitrary, and it would be nice if they weren't.

Dinner is not provided as part of registration - at this stage it is too late to add that. �The plan was to order pizzas, and have folks chip in, if people still want to go with pizza.

Darius:
My understanding is the dinner will be included in the registration fee so you should not need to be reimbursed.

It's easier for ANL people to get reimbursed for dinner if it's listed on the agenda.
