Venue: VTech Campus in Blacksburg
Housing Options:
Lunch and restaurant options:
Cost: $505,000 or about $500/person
Additional apples-to-apples questions
Coffee break prices for 1000 people for 10 days: $300,000.
Banquet and reception cost per person, assuming 500 people. How would that number change if we went up or down by 250 people?
For the reception/dinner, what is priced is one of the two options with 250 participants
The dinner is $60 per person and that would not change between 250 and 500 participants.
Pro
add your comments as bullet points. Nest if you like.
Probably inexpensive
Facilities are pretty good– I have been there for a couple of 100-200 person meetings, and I think it would probably scale reasonably (KS).
Car probably not needed.
Con
add your comments as bullet points. Nest if you like.
Somewhat isolated, and the climate is not very friendly during the summer.
There are only 2-3 flights/day from each major hub to Roanoke. Over 1000 people coming in might be problematic. No alternative airports nearby.
