1) look for a place that can be rented for 3 - 6 days .... look around
vacation areas, and see what rentals are like in the off season. For
instance ... a cottage on the Isle of Wight, a condo at Mammoth
Lakes, off season , can be had for a very reasonable amount. See if
you can rent a space and sleep a lot of people in it .... and try for
one with a kitchen. Sometimes offseason, you can get a Holiday Inn to
kick in a free conference room if you can guarantee a certain number
of rooms. Cheaper is better. Fortunatly for henna artists, off season
for vacations is off season for us. That's been one of the problems
with Sirius Rising ... its at a very busy henna time.

The most wonderful conferences I've ever been to are in just a big
cheap rentable space where we all sleeping-bag it on the floor and
cook together in the kitchen (henna artists are great cooks!)....like
the winter women's weekend at brushwood.

Cheap and simple is good. People are usually so buzzed about the joy
of being together that frugal accomodations go down just fine.

2) contact enough lecturers that you can get 5 - 8 hours programming
per day. I'm good for 6 - 8 hours of programming myself ... but not
all in one day, thank you.

3) If you can book enough people in to pitch in enough to pay your
major lecturer's plane ticket ... that's a blessing. I'll lecture
free, (I'm retired and don't need money much) but I have to watch my
travel pennies (I'm retired and don't have money much).

4) promote the hell out of the event.

5) I'll help!

I'd LOVE to see one conference in each hemisphere each year! I'd be
perfectly happy with swapping off hemispheres every year.
