Fwd: publisher's booth

[Heidi Johnson]

Dear all,
Mary Niebuhr is the Advertising/Exhibits Manager for the 2005 LSA 
meeting
in San Francisco next January. She's been helping me figure out the 
costs, etc.
for the publisher's booth that we decided we wanted. But once she 
understood
what we wanted to do with our booth, she came up with what I believe is 
a much
better idea for us: a reserved conference room in which we can schedule 
"office
hours" for our various member projects.

Her letter follows; please read it and see what you think. The 
financing would be
much easier to organize, I think. We would need to schedule everyone 
well in
advance, so we could get our program into the Meeting Handbook.

Let's talk about this at dinner Saturday the 17th in Detroit, shall we?

See y'all,
Heidi

> Instead of renting a booth so your group will have a place to meet

> The advantages to the office hours approach are:
>
> 1. We reserve a conference room for your group at no charge.
> 2. In the Meeting Handbook, we announce the hours your people will be 
> there to talk about their projects.
>
> 3. Each group could choose a specific time so that everyone knows when 
> to come and talk to _____.
>
> 4. You would be responsible only for charges related to internet 
> services, AV equipment,that type of thing.
>
> As the organizer, your task would be to schedule the groups and work 
> with us to obtain whatever equipment you will need (beyond the tables 
> and chairs, of course).
