To clarify NLUG at PhreakNIC a bit: NLUG will have a conference room at the Maxwell House throughout the convention; you're free to do anything you want with it. There are two rooms to choose from - the International or the Forum; the only difference between them is that the Forum can be split into two smaller rooms, if desired. Room dimensions: 39' (or 19.5' if split) by 27', 10' high ceiling. Each room will seat 100 people theater style or 70 classroom style (half those numbers if split). We'll have the International and Forum rooms from 8:00am, Thursday, October 30th through 11:59pm, Sunday, November 2nd (through PhreakNIC 18 will officially end by 5:00pm on Sunday; there will be a post-con catered "thank you" dinner at 6:00pm for staff/guests/attendees still onsite). If you want, you can treat this as an NLUG convention inside PhreakNIC 18, with most of the logistics & expense handled by PhreakNIC/Nashville2600. Do a 4-day installfest, teach classes, hold workshops, invite speakers, do LPI & other certifications, etc. If you invite a speaker (or speakers) who need more space than the International or Forum can provide, we also have all three ballroom at the Maxwell House. Dimensions & capacities for the ballroom(s): 1 ballroom: 32' by 76', 16' high ceiling; seats 300 people theater style, 175 classroom style 2 ballrooms: 64' by 76', 16' high ceiling; seats 700 people theater style, 375 classroom style all 3 ballrooms: 98' by 76', 16' high ceiling; seats 1000 people theater style, 600 classroom style The current plan is to use one ballroom for talks, a second for workshops / demos / gaming / etc, and the third for vendors. We'll be more than happy to make changes to that plan for any Big Names that NLUG may land. Vendors, sponsors & generally sellin' stuff: You need to rent "exhibit space" from the hotel via PhreakNIC. Booths & "table tops" (ie - folding tables with your stuff on' em) are available at reasonable rates; we'll charge you exactly what the hotel charges us (which is in the $35 to $80 per day range, depending on what you want, and half that price for Sunday). Any sponsors who throw a big enough check at PhreakNIC will of course get their exhibit space fees and membership badges comped. Contact me offlist if you want more info. So, NLUG President, VP, and members - what's your plan? ~~jonnyX/Dru >On Fri, Jun 13, 2014 at 11:10 AM, Howard White <[email protected]> wrote: > >> On 06/13/2014 10:55 AM, Wesley Duffee-Braun wrote: >> >>> Hi Howard, >>> >>> Regarding a preso, maybe it could be something at PhreakNIC?
