The only place around New Jersey that I can think of that has a fairly city like infrastructure and yet is not too crowded is Atlantic City - which has a large number of hotels at affordable rates and yet quite luxurious.
Can't think of any other location in New Jersey that might be of special interest to those travelling from abroad or from the other coasts of USA and has plenty of hotels in close proximity of each other..

We can all do a fundraiser by walking / running / biking from wherever we are to where the RUG is! Just that some of us will need to start sooner. Actually when you set up an event like this you're never going to please everyone so the earlier posts are correct about finding a venue that is easily accessible for most of the audience based on prior years, etc... The only thing I'd venture to say is California and Washington are not the only areas with nice hotels and great airports. Someone mentioned maybe Chicago in 2014 - that's fairly mid-country. Heck, their even going to try and hold the Super Bowl in an open stadium in New Jersey in 2014, so folks can sometimes go outside the box to try different venues. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Natalie K Stroud" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, March 6, 2013 11:37:52 AM Subject: Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: WWRUG13 Date and Location Announcement Well, those folks can take a train, bus, motorcycle, or automobile if they don't care to fly. Or, I suppose, depending on where they're coming from, walk, run, bike, or sail. They might even be able to find some other Listers who don't want to fly for whatever reason to caravan with. (ooh...road trip!!) Seems to me that if a person *really* wants to go, there are plenty of possible options for getting to the conference.

For me flights from the East Coast to San Jose or San Francisco are a small fraction of the cost to attend the conference. In turn there are many folks coming in from out of country and flying into a major airport on the East or West coast reduces costs for them and is more convenient. I believe Houston was looked at as a possibility. Yet there were limitations that caused it to be dropped from consideration.

Not sure what the reason for this is but it makes it hard for many in the middle of the country to attend this most valuable event. Sorry for the rant but just had to ask the question. Why is this?
