RE: [BULK] Re: COMMON 2008

["Shannon ODonnell" <sodonnell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm just curious about how this works.  Does COMMON get the extra fee then,
for the person not staying in a COMMON hotel?  If so, does COMMON then have
to give that fee back to the hotel?  

I'm just wondering what/where that fee goes/is used for then.

Thanks

Robert,

The rate difference applies to locals as well unless you belong to a local 
user group in the Nashville area.  If you do belong to a "currently 
active" local user group then your user group representative will give you 
a discount code that will offset the increased registration rate for not 
stating in the hotel.

Trevor,


<<<  this has been talked about endlessly.  >>>
<<<  COMMON adds a charge to registration if you are not going to be 
helping them fill that block.  >>>

*My* question has not been answered.  Do you upcharge those COMMON 
attendees who live in the conference city?  It would be illogical to rent 
a room at the conference hotel when you live in the conference city. 
Out-of-towners need the rooms, locals do not.
