next conference

[PATRICIA DESERT]

And Baltimore, MD has many colleges/universities as well including John Hopkins, Goucher, Loyola, Notre Dame, Towson U., and Morgan.  Towson University is a state school and could be even more affordable than the private colleges.  

Another affordable option to expensive hotels--a list of folks who would have rooms in their homes to let for the weekend.  For example, I have two bedrooms available and if the conference were in Baltimore I could create such a list.  What a nice experience for folks from other countries to experience a welcoming American family and home life as well as the conference.

  Northampton, Mass has 5 colleges, including Smith College, University  
  of Massachusetts, Amherst, Hampshire College and Mt. Holyoke  
  College.   We could find one college, I am sure, to house a  
  conference in 2009.  Colleges end mid-May, so we would have to have  
  an early June conference.  The conference could include, for those  
  who wanted, rental of a dorm room.  There are hotels here as well.

  The criteria I hear from many is simply cost.  Miami was great but  
  the cost was high.   If we want to attract many we have to make it  
  affordable.
