SignWriting Linguistic Society Conference</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>I had a tour of the facility at Gallaudet University Kellogg
Center yesterday. I should be getting a proposal from the director this
week. The place is gorgeous and has top of the line AV equipment
including the possibility of teleconference. Hoping we can have as many
people participate as possible. I'm basing my figures on 75
participants. <BR><BR>Roughly:<BR><BR>Meal Plan - $150.00/person (includes
breakfast, lunch, and snack for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday).
<BR><BR>Food functions count against meeting room fees so this may help
considerably. <BR><BR>Hotel Room - Roughly $160 - $180/night depending on the
season, 70 room nights (30 per night/doubly occupancy).<BR><BR>Meeting rooms -
Roughly $4800 for 6 rooms, which open up into two rooms for group sessions,
may include (short term) a tiered room set aside for teleconferencing.
<BR><BR>Interpreters - This will be the larger fee depending on our class size
and schedule. Interpreters run approximately $50/interpreter, minimum 2
hours. If we are to run for 10 hours on Friday, 10 hours on Saturday,
and 4 on Sunday, then that's 24 x 50 x 2 = $2400.00 and that is only if we had
only one session of 3 or 4 simultaneous interpreted, including 2 interpreters
for the time. (I'm counting $4800).<BR><BR>Transportation for Valerie
Sutton from California - $350.00 and $600 housing, or equivalent
teleconferencing fee. <BR><BR>Bottom line = $4800 (meeting rooms) +
$4800 (interpreters) + $1000 (travel) + $7500 (meal plans) + $1260 (hotel
rooms) = $10600 + $9760 = $20360 (the $7500 may reduce the meeting room cost
considerably). <BR><BR>The cost per person comes out roughly $271.40
(based on 75 people, which considering that this covers hotel room and meals
is not bad at all). I'm basing this on double occupancy in the hotel
room (30 rooms per night). This is not counting any grants which would
help reduce those costs or offsets for meals. <BR><BR>Charles<BR><BR><BR>
