I've contacted UMass Convention Services, and we're working out details. From all the interested groups, this is what I'd like to know:
First, when, as in a month. I'd assume we'd want to do this during the summer or very late this semester. UMass has finals the week of May 20, so it'd have to be either a couple weeks before that or sometime after. We don't go back to school until after Labour Day.
Second, how much, generally, per person. You're probably going to end up staying in a dorm (if it needs to be a handicapable space, speak up- we only have three halls that are, and they need to be requested early). We can also do meals at the dining halls. During the year, they're pretty good considering they turn out 50,000 meals a day. I'm sure they keep the quality up during the summer.
Third, does anyone have ideas for workshops, or alumni who might want to do workshops? We just had our Greek Life conference, and I'm going to try to draw in some of the same speakers, as well as some others we know.
I'm going to work out a format, and start negoiating prices with the university. E-mail me with responses. Thanks all.
