From: Bloonfool@aol.com Date: Mon, 13 Mar 2000 20:39:27 EST Subject: Re: Hyatt Pricing To: balloondeco@balloonhq.com I attend several event related conventions a year. IBAC, by far, offers its delegates more for their money than any of the other conventions. In January I attended the Special Event in San Diego. The host hotel room rate was $165 a nite and full registration was $649, which included seminars & the tradeshow. Parties were ala carte. There were not near as many classes as IBAC has, which led to overcrowded classrooms and insufficient class handouts. IBAC has really spoiled us. It offers the best & the most education for our money, hands down. Let's get over the complaining and be thankful that we have such a great convention to look forward to every year. I can't wait until IBAC 2001! Pamela Owens, CBA Bravo Events Asheville, NC
