John, I would say the town of Ithaca would be a good location. I don't know any specifics about the facilities or costs for a conference our size though. I would assume that maybe Cornell has some space if the timing is right but I'm not sure. I do know when I stayed at the campus hotel was really nice for the price (it is ran by students). I've been to Ithaca for smaller conferences (~60 people) before moving to Binghamton and enjoyed it. Getting to Ithaca might not be the easiest, but probably no worse than Asheville, Athens, or Corvallis. Since I'm in Binghamton, if you do decide to submit something, let me know if you need any help. Edward John Fereira wrote: > Mark A.
