Phoenix College details from Michelle's email on 25 Apr. Her estimated cost was about $800 plus the sponsor needed to have insurance. Read on below.

Subject: InstallFest at Phoenix College -- a location and date if we want it

If we want it, we have a location for IF3 at the Osborn Building at Phoenix College on June 18th. They don't have weekend availability during the summer, but since we are trying a draw a downtown business audience, a weekend date is probably not what we want anyway.

The space is very nice -- suitable for a professional audience. The presentation area is a lecture hall with a small stage and seats with folding desktops, and is right next to the install area. There is also an entryway we could use for informational materials, free CDs ,etc.

There is one drawback: we would have to rent the space at their NPO rate, which is $45 an hr. for the cafe (the install area) and $55 an hr. for the Dome (presentation area), along with custodial fees, etc. For an event that goes from 10-4, it will cost approximately $800, and they require a certificate of insurance. (I'm guessing all of this would be done through AZOTO.)

So, if we want to use this space, we'll probably need to sell a lot more T-shirts. :)

On the plus side, it's a very nice space, close to downtown (by 11th Ave. and Osborn), and they will make sure we have adequate electrical outlets and internet access. It is not directly on the main campus, and the building has its own parking lot, so accessibility is better than if it were in the Union or other main campus building.

BTW, I haven't heard back from anyone about who is now coordinating this thing. I offered to find the location, but I will not have time to be the primary coordinator.

> Michael,


My vote is ... next spring is to far away. I am working on another place
that might be able to house an Install Fest (for a price). As I
understand
it, The Front is willing to fund the event assuming the price is
reasonable.

Wasn't PC able but for a charge?
