Things to watch
From the version posted Oct 28, 2026.
- Worth checking: Large venue needed. You need 205 rooms plus a 500-seat session room and six breakout rooms in one area, which only larger hotels or conference centers can supply.
- Minor: No set-aside. The buy is unrestricted, so small businesses compete with large hotel chains on price.
- Minor: Childcare rooms required. Two separate childcare rooms are needed both days, with snack and beverage service, which some venues may not have.
