Let me rephrase it for a better understanding: I agree that some kind of confidentiality in the negotiation is required, but the common starting point for the overall sponsorship cost should be openly well-known. I think this thread has demonstrated the general ignorance about the real costs, whic

Andy, I have been involved as local host now for two times (although I wasn't very local this time ;-)). I agree that it doesn't make sense to build a network each and every time completely from scratch. It is an enormous effort to beg potential sponsors for accesspoints (or spend a lot of money

I don't think the meeting fees could actually go down, may be more in the other way around if we are realistic with the cost figures. Actually the cost is already high for a sponsor, and I believe trying to get more from the industry (or other kind of sponsors) for each meeting will be really diff

Actually this can be seen as an additional way to bring the sponsor "local" cost down. There are several factors: 1) We bring the overall cost down by adequate anticipated planning. 2) The potential host prefers to host in the place where they have better local support, is more convenient for the
