      And the $100 more here is the same.... apples to apples, with included parking, maid service, pool service, etc. That's the inclusive price being that much cheaper than a little hotel room in Austin.

        There must be a website where everyone can put in their home address and it will work out the best place to host it (eg the minimum total number of air miles required to get everyone there). It's probably somewhere like Bermuda.

        Assuming you'd want any non North Americans turning up 🙂

            I picked Feb 3 for flying out... round trip from Omaha to Nicaragua was $850. From Omaha to Houston was $450, and Houston to Nicaragua was $400.

            You just got some awesome pricing.

              Wow... if I fly out of laGuardia or JFK it would be ~$500 round trip... that is surprising.

                Time of year matters. February would be tourist season. The fall is not. Fall is when it is cooler here so people are less likely to fly down to hit the beach.

                  On United, I am guessing?

                      Well the first one will be local to me (or semi-local at least). The first time I will be planning anything on this sheer scale so I have to be able to visit the venue and meet with everyone easily. And then get there and do it too. So this 2016 will be in the Niagara Region.

                        That's Buffalo for the uninitiated.

                          Oooh... Perfect within easy driving distance for me! 🙂 🙂 That seems to never happen with conferences. Too bad New York is so expensive for this type of thing.

                            @jenuinecase and I will be looking at a place or 2 in the next couple weeks. Attempting to get something at a Casino to add to the fun factor.

                              Are you sure that that won't just be a distracting factor?

                                Wow, $870 Atlanta to Managua. That will be a no-go.

                                  The couple we are looking at seem to have great Conference spaces. So we will see what I think when I see them in person. The other options are really close to the casinos. And if you want to cross the bridge (which you can do on foot) you can explore the Canadian side too.

                                      Niagara falls both sides has a bit to do so there should a lots of options. No Touches sorry to say.

                                        What about the other direction? Instead of the Niagara region, what about the Finger Lakes region? Watkins Glen, Geneva, Ithaca.... all great options. A venue out in the country around there might work. Harder for flights but only so far from Rochester or Syracuse and would have the interest of being in the wine region.

                                          The problem with NF is that all of the good stuff is on the Canadian side adding all of the international complications and tons of Canadian specific ones and raising the cost.

                                            I know there are a few conference centers in that region. It would be harder to fly too that's for sure. Although the Binghamton Airport is awesome.
