I’m a bit skeptical. Having organized more conferences and seminars than I
care to remember, my experience has typically been that you need a substantial guaranteed
number of room reservations before you can get even the smallest amount of a discount.
I’ve had hotels tell me that there had to be a minimum of 65 rooms reserved
before any promise of a discount. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

hotel with the number, explain they will most likely use the onsite cafae,
and offerf publicity during your seminar.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

is normally a higher rate.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

for the Bay Area. Especially given the time of year we're having our
seminar because all the parents will be overrunning the area with their new

Travel Lodge listed, though. They're usually less expensive. I'll
