It would be interesting to know. It is, or was, a good meeting
venue.
I'm guessing attendance is lower, and meeting fees matter
more now?
I note that "pick locations to maximize meeting fee income" was
not on any of the lists of criteria that have been posted in
recent weeks by various IAOC and Meetings Committee members. I
presume that means it is not an important criterion because, if
it were, the criteria that the community is being told about and
the criteria that are being used are different... and that, to
me, would be a very serious matter.
