ok so it's the location thing i "dislike", so maybe we can agree to
use (say) the Hilton chain in NA, Europe and Asia...

Tim,

Ah, I think you missed my point about this.  If you can gaurantee a 
hotel or a set of hotels
in a given location somekind of volume the pricing for the event goes 
down.   It allows
for pricing based on average attendance of all three meetings.

1. Pick a place and have the meetings there 3 times a year banking that

 volume discounts and pricing for usage of the hotel.  Other

 this and seems to have helped them to survive.
  


i think on the contrary have 3 meetings but in north america, europe
and asia each year to maximise audience.   there are cheap places in
europe, like madrid...
