<p>Sam, regarding how to cover the cost of a convention without a
floor fee, here's what I think we did for 2010 St. Louis.</p>
<p>We kept our A/V costs low, like around $20,000 if I remember
correctly. We kept our meal prices relatively low.</p>
<p>Also, in my sales pitches, I focused on explaining how the costs
of the conventions are covered.</p>
<p>I didn't call people free loaders or insult them for not wanting
to pay for a package (at least not within earshot of anyone
besides maybe Robert).</p>
<p>Instead, I explained to them that the only reason we were able to
let get the convention hall space for free was if enough people
purchased packages and rented rooms at the hotel. <br>
</p>
<p>My mindset was to thank them for purchasing packages, rather than
shame them for not.<br>
</p>

</p>
<p>The 2010 Convention was quite successful financially and
attendance-wise. <br>
</p>
<p>Personally, I'd recommend spending more on A/V than we did in St.
Louis. In any case, low cost options in boring places like St.
Louis can work out well and have very high attendance (especially
if there's a few very active contentious candidates for leadership
positions).<br>

<p>Sam, that's great to hear. I didn't know how much
information on those topics had already been
collected.</p>
<p>One favor I'd like to ask of you when the Convention
gets discussed at the upcoming LNC meeting.</p>
<p>I'd appreciate it if you or someone on the LNC could
call on me to give a quick update on how the Food and
Beverage costs impact our pricing and profitability.</p>
<p>I think sometimes we focus too much on the total Food
and Beverage minimums, as in are they $50,000 or
$70,000 or $90,000? Sometimes those numbers matter,
but the number that always matters is how much will
the hotel charge us per dinner, per lunch, and per
breakfast. <br>
</p>
<p>When hotels charge us $100 for dinners, and $60 for
lunches, we have to set our Gold Packages very high,
like in the $600 range. When we use hotels that charge
us less for meals, we're able to offer Gold Packages
closer to the $400 range.</p>
<p>Often we have no trouble hitting Food and Beverage
minimums, and so what I consider more important is the
prices we have to charge our attendees (or the profit
we can make on the packages to help cover other costs
of the convention).</p>
<p>The other think I think we don't focus on enough
upfront is A/V costs. Often, we pick a city and hotel,
sign a contract, and then find out how expensive the
A/V costs. <br>
</p>
<p>The exact same A/V options could cost $30,000 at one
hotel, but $60,000 at another. <br>
</p>
<p>Anyway, I just wanted to get that info out there. I
think it's good to discuss these things prior to an
LNC meeting at least to some degree, because our
meetings move pretty fast and there's usually lots on
the agendas. <br>
</p>
<p>2016 Orlando had a huge turnout. I think we make the
assumption it was significantly because we think
people wanted to go to Orlando. I think that's true.
What I don't know have an idea of is how many of those
same people would have gone if the convention had been
in Kansas City. Perhaps it was more the Johnson,
Petersen, McAfee, etc. fans, than the fact it was in
Orlando. <br>
</p>
<p>I don't know how many people would prefer to go to
New Orleans versus Phoenix. Personally, I much prefer
New Orleans. <br>
</p>
<p>Now that I've shared my thoughts, I think you may not
need to call on me at the LNC meeting after all. <br>
</p>
<p>Thanks for all of your great work on the national
convention. New Orleans is going to be epic!<br>

<p>Here's the survey I would
recommend the Convention

request staff to send: <br>

<p>The Libertarian Party is
already busy working to select
the location for our 2020
National Presidential Nominating
Convention. To help us make an
informed choice, we'd like some
feedback from members like you.<br>
</p>
<p>1. Please rate the following
cities regarding how desirable a
location they would be for a
national convention, with 5
being desirable, and 1 being
undesirable. These are not
rankings, in other words, if you
love all of these options, you
could rate them all 5's.<br>
</p>
<p>[ ] Chicago<br>
[ ] Austin<br>
[ ] Ft. Lauderdale<br>
[ ] Phoenix<br>
[ ] Reno<br>
[ ] Atlanta<br>
[ ] Birmingham<br>
[ ] Manchester<br>
</p>
<p>(Note, this is not the actual
list of cities being considered,
though some are and some
aren't--it's just for example)<br>
</p>
<p>2. Hotel prices vary greatly
depending on quality and
location. "You get what you pay
for. " Assuming the party
negotiates a good price at all
locations being considered, yet
some locations are higher
because they are in a more
expensive city or are a nicer
hotel, how desirable would the
following prices be to you. Put
a "5" for the price ranges you
would be comfortable paying. Put
a "1" for the price ranges you
feel are too high, or too low.</p>
<p>[ ] $80-$99 per night (does
not include taxes)<br>
[ ] $100-$119 per night (does
not include taxes)<br>
[ ] $120-$139 per night (does
not include taxes)<br>
[ ] $140-$159 per night (does
not include taxes)<br>
[ ] $160-$179 per night (does
not include taxes)</p>
<p>3. Please rate the following 5
potential dates for a
convention. Put a "5" if the
date is especially desirable to
you, and "1" if the date is
particularly undesirable to you.</p>
<p>[ ] Thursday, April 9 -
Sunday, April 12<br>
[ ] Thursday, May 7 - Sunday,
May 10<br>
[ ] Friday, May 22 - Monday,
May 5 (Memorial Weekend)<br>
[ ] Thursday, June 11 -
Sunday, June 14<br>
</p>
<p>4. Critical events and
decisions are made at our
national conventions. However,
we try to balance the time given
to various activities with the
burden of the time and cost to
our members and delegates.
Please indicate your
desirability for the following
convention durations, putting a
"5" for the the time spans you
find desirable, and lower
numbers for the time spans you
find too long or too short.</p>
<p>[ ] 1 night and 2 days<br>
[ ] 2 nights and 3 days<br>
[ ] 3 nights and 4 days<br>
[ ] 4 nights and 5 days<br>
[ ] 5 nights and 6 days<br>
[ ] 6 nights and 7 days</p>
<p>Thanks for your feedback. There
are many factors that determine
where and when we have our
national conventions. Not all
locations are available at all
dates, and not all venues are
the right size or configuration
for our national conventions.
However, the information above
will help our hardworking group
of Convention Committee members
pick the best location
available.</p>
<p>Thanks for your interest in the
2020 Convention.</p>

<p>The Convention

LP closer to $59

The package
prices we set,

hotels charge

<p>I will plan
to do another

Fall. </p>
<p>I'll also be
asking for a

increase at
this LNC
meeting to pay
for
prospecting
for new
donors/members
to lists that
have routinely
been our best
performers. </p>
