Wanda -

That's my point. Those costs are listed at the bottom of the original 
message. I need everyone to look at those costs and tell me if you can 
attend based on those costs. (Registration = $75, Meals = $150, 3, 
maybe 4 nights hotel at $85/night plus tax).

One person is looking at approximately $525 to $625 after tax is thrown 
in plus travel expenses and miscellaneous, depending on how long you 
stay.

In reality, agents will probably be in for 3 nights (Sat/Sun/Mon) while 
working with their showcasing artists; presenters probably would stay 
for 3 nights (Sun/Mon/Tues) because of the Tuesday booking conference. 
However, those from west Tennessee may have to add a fourth night 
because you may not want to drive back Tuesday night after an all-day 
booking conference. Agents and artists also have to consider air 
fare/ground transportation costs for multiple people involved in a 
showcase, even though there is only one registration fee per 
organization.

Let me know if you can attend based on those costs...

Thanks,

Bob
