The Challenge of Hosting Interims

• Meeting sizes have grown astronomically
• a 50 error in fee estimates can be a 15K
  liability
• Host liable for cancellation of event--liability
  approaching 100K.
• Host has to make up difference between blocked
  rooms and actual--forces us to underestimate and
  drive up costs.
• Logistics, collection of fees, etc becoming
  unmanageable for inexperienced volunteers
• Small companies can not afford to do it.
