15. Registration Change Proposal
January 2010
Registration Change Proposal
Colleagues,
After some careful study of our current Registration Process, we have noted some significant changes in how people register for Plenary Sessions, and it is now causing some serious difficulties in our preparation for upcoming sessions:
1) Nearly all of our attendees are now waiting until just before the Pre-Registration deadline to register for the upcoming session, so we have extreme difficulty estimating attendance prior to that cut-off date.
2) Most attendees are not booking their hotel rooms in advance of the cut-off either and so we are having major concerns from our hotels, who see <<100 rooms booked until just prior to the cutoff date. In these difficult economic times, when many Groups tend to miss their numbers by large margins, this causes an undue amount of paranoia from the hotel’s revenue manager, and we tend to get a serious curtailment of our usual goodwill and support as a result.
3) In these difficult economic times it is very much harder to allow significant numbers of attendees to postpone registration until they arrive on-site because it causes overload of our on-site registration staff and puts a huge uncertainty in our actual attendance projections.

16. Registration Change Proposal
January 2010
Registration Change Proposal
Therefore we are proposing to implement some modifications that will be necessary to maintain our good reputation and attendance predictions going forward:
1) We will advance the registration cut-off date by 2-weeks, from 17 days prior to the meeting to 31 days prior to the meeting.
2) We will advance the hotel room-block cut-off by the same amount so that they continue to occur on the same date.
3) We will adjust the Session Registration Fees to the following formula as has been done in many of the WG interim sessions:
Web Pre-Registration Fee (prior to 31-day cut-off) will remain at $400.
Web Registration Fee (after the Pre-Registration cut-off but at least 7-days before start of session (Monday) will now be $500.
Web or On-site Registration less than 7-days before or during the session will now be $600.
4) We will also consider adding some form of surcharge to the registration fee for those attendees not staying in the 802-contracted hotel.
Bruce Kraemer, Marvell

17. Registration Change Proposal
January 2010
Registration Change Proposal
We hope this will encourage our attendees to give us more advance warning of their intentions and we will continue to allow fairly generous cancellation provisions unless we see a significant change in the numbers attempting to cancel during the last 31-days before the session.
These provisions will need to be made even more stringent when we begin our adventure with non-North-American Plenary venues (e.g. Singapore and Macao) since lead-times and advance warnings are much more critical to our financial well-being in those types of venues, where the penalties are much more toxic. We do not wish to discourage future attendees, but rather to provide some reasonable economic incentives to give us better advance notice of their intentions. We hope our WGs will encourage their memberships to cooperate with these changes so we can continue to offer some best value arrangement with future venues by reducing the chance that bad projections will cause a serious shortfall to blemish our otherwise excellent record for consistently making our numbers.
