Request for Question Clarification by easterangel-ga on 22 Jul 2004 18:44 PDT

Hi!

It would be hard to get information on the number of people attending
such events since organizers do not usually disclose their needs for
rooms. usually these are arranged and negotiated on an individual
basis.

Would just a compilation of contact information for the organizers be
enough as an answer? In this way you can contact and negotiate with
them directly.

Thanks!

Request for Question Clarification by easterangel-ga on 22 Jul 2004 19:08 PDT

Another thing. Group incentive trips are usually private info for the
company giving it. Would an absence of such info be ok? Just the
tradeshow, conferences and convention events will be provided?

Thanks again!

YOUR SUGGESTION WOULD BE FINE IF EXTENSIVE LIST - THANK YOU.

Hi! Thanks for accepting my proposal for an answer.

Here are the 2 or 3 day meetings, conventions, conferences and trade
and also craft shows that you can target for your business in
Wisconsin. These events are for the months of May, June, November and
December, which are according to the requirements of your question.
Whenever the information is available, I have provided the estimated
number of attendees for such an event.
