Please email me directly if you have any leads.... I appreciate your help and thank you in advance. SK ----- Forwarded message from George Rosamond ----- Date: Mon, 09 Jul 2007 15:46:49 -0400 From: George Rosamond To: NYCBUG Subject: [nycbug-talk] NYCBSDCon 2007 status After a few years of massive successes, we have received many on and off line queries about the status of NYCBSDCon for 2007. As usual, we started working on space for the conference early in the spring. Unfortunately, Columbia University is *not* available this year. We have been dealing with multiple locations, with no success. We were confident a month and more back that New York University would be ideal, but their fees and restrctions are exceedingly high. If we were holding some $800/a day conference, it would have been fine, but that's not what NYCBSDCon is about. For anyone who's attended, this should be clear. Many people have assisted us in this quest for a space. . . particularly some NYU people who we had previously not known. New York is a difficult place to find inexpensive space, particularly after 9/11 and the real estate boom. Manhattan real estate continues to boom and conference space fees do not soften. We have one more university that we are waiting on for a response to our application. . . We should know the answer by the end of the month. However, if that space does *not* work out, we will be postponing NYCBSDCon to 2008. We already to have push the conference further to the end of the year. Any longer would be too long. We can't even do a call for papers until we have a space, so it just wouldn't be plausible to have the conference this year. And now it comes to *your* role. If anyone has any leads to decent conference space that would work for NYCBSDCon, please let me know offlist. But if we don't find the right space at the decent fees and reasonable restrictions, then we'll have to put off the con until next year. Thanks. . .
