[pm-h] YAPC venue contacts

[Jeremy Fluhmann]

Will,

 

That's great!  I'm going to send you what I sent her so far (I'll send
it directly to you).  I just sent an e-mail this morning and requested a
'read receipt'.  I don't believe that she has read the e-mail, yet.

 

Jeremy

What is the extent of your contact with Janet at UHD? I can pickup where
you left off. I don't claim to be a 'PR person', but I attend  UHD and
know a few professors in the CIS/CS departments that may help us get
more leverage with UHD. 

I'll also contact a travel agent friend of mine to see what he can do as
far as discounts on airfare, hotels, restaurants, etc. 

I'll report any progress made both on this list and on the wiki.

I've decided that we might need to consider having a PR person (or two)
for interacting with possibly conference venue staff, hotel staff, and
anyone else that we may need to be contacting.  I've made contact with
Janet Heitmiller, Director of Community Relations & Conferences at the
University of Houston Downtown (Heitmillerj at uhd.edu ), but decided that
someone with better social skills than me may better serve the role.
Or, maybe we can designate someone to be 'our' contact person for
various aspects of the proposal.  Something such as having a person or
two be the contact for hotel information, a person or two be the contact
for venue possibilities, etc.  Or have a mix-and-match of the following:

* Hotels and accommodations

* Venue(s) (includes conference facilities, on-campus housing options,
on-campus dining, etc.)

* Houston promoter in general (answers the question, Why Houston?)

* Sponsorship

* Discounts (including airfare, hotels, restaurants, etc.)

 

Or maybe we continue like it is and just have people make contact when
needed.  Thoughts?
