[Deptheads] Sheraton info

[Robert Lionheart]

My only concerns with the Sheraton space are...
   
  a) Are they counting their foyer spaces as convention / room space? 
   
  b) Can we use the foyer spaces for gaming?  AKA, can we put tables and chairs up in these areas without issues with the fire department?

  Eric A. and Patrick have seen the space at the Sheraton. Given their needs and requirements for dealers room, does everyone have to approve this space? I know we're trying to be considerate but if time is of the essence and not everyone can get over there, perhaps an executive decision should be made.

I agree....but we need the pictures and REAL dimensions between conventions so we can better assign space and use what we have.  I figured we might as well get the pictures while we are in the area and save a trip or two.   John   In a message dated 5/1/2008 12:30:03 P.M.
