I'll also contact a travel agent friend of mine to see what he can do as far as discounts on airfare, hotels, restaurants, etc.
I'll report any progress made both on this list and on the wiki.

I've decided that we might need to consider having a PR person (or two) for interacting with possibly conference venue staff, hotel staff, and anyone else that we may need to be contacting. I've made contact with Janet Heitmiller, Director of Community Relations & Conferences at the University of Houston Downtown ([EMAIL PROTECTED] ), but decided that someone with better social skills than me may better serve the role. Or, maybe we can designate someone to be 'our' contact person for various aspects of the proposal. Something such as having a person or two be the contact for hotel information, a person or two be the contact for venue possibilities, etc. Or have a mix-and-match of the following:
* Hotels and accommodations
* Venue(s) (includes conference facilities, on-campus housing options, on-campus dining, etc.)
* Houston promoter in general (answers the question, Why Houston?)
* Sponsorship
* Discounts (including airfare, hotels, restaurants, etc.)
Or maybe we continue like it is and just have people make contact when needed. Thoughts?
