A few more factual follow-ups for reference:
- The negotiation process was NOT easy and we explored many different
venues. We are not getting a raw deal. Trust me, we had some raw deals
offered. This contract has a lot of things that help us keep our

Early signs point to attendees who register under government rates being
able to count toward our room block. We'll have for sure info on that at
