[Ron Stewart]

You have my vote, I think the conference has a need for a more modern and
accessible venue.

2009

 

Hello All:

We're 90% decided on moving the conference to the Westin (in Westminster),
about 15 miles south east of Boulder and about 13 miles from downtown
Denver. You can view the hotel website at
http://www.starwoodhotels.com/westin/property/overview/index.html?propertyID
=1173. The meeting space is much nicer, so are the sleeping rooms, it's more
accessible and it's a much newer hotel. The room prices will be the same as
last year - $119, including free wireless in the rooms and a $10 coupon for
breakfast.

However, before we make a final decision, I'd like to hear feedback from the
ATHEN group since this is the official conference of the organization. Does
anyone have any strong objections. The drawback of the location is that it's
not Boulder (or Denver). But there's just nothing in Boulder that can
provide better meeting space. 

We're also thinking about extending the conference a half-day, ending on
Saturday noon. 

As always, I look forward to your feedback.

Thanks,
Howard
