Bruce,
Thanks for this and to anyone who helps to reveal any of the fraud(s)
in our business. The Powers site is so funny. I tried to e-mail him
but alas it was bounced back.

Frank, I think you're exaggerating just a little bit.
I attended this year's Cinevent, and have been going to this show, at the same
hotel, for almost 20 years. While this hotel may have its flaws(e.g. poor A/C
in some common areas), calling it disgusting is grossly unfair and totally
Agree. The rooms have been newly redecorated, all rooms received new beds
within the last year, the restaurant and lobby have been redecorated...

I stand by my statement and I know for a fact that many dealers feel the
same, especially since you can find luxury hotels in Columbus at that
time of the year for the price that is charged at this Ramada dump.

The rooms smell of disinfectant. The elevators are ridiculous. The
air-conditioner was not working in two the rooms we were initially given
and frankly it wasn't working in the ballroom that was used for the
auction on Day One. It is inexcusable at a business/conference hotel

maybe you should look at all the facts before being so quick to criticize.
Besides the sleeping rooms the promoter has to be concerned about the cost

your comment is really very shallow. It is a singular perspective
that does not take into account the full spectrum of problems any
convention promoter faces.
For instance, my cost to be at and exhibit at Cinevent is approximately $1600
let's say they move to a hotel that costs 30%
What can I do to help? Are you for real? This is a business venture.
Promoters make money off the event. Or at least they're supposed to. The

Granted, Franc could phrase more diplomatically and couch his opinions
