This is a great idea, but I also want to raise out one issue, just
FYI.
The pricing of venue and hotels can not be fixed such a long time
beforehand, at least we have this problem in China. As we started to
preparing for FUDCon APAC 2014 in Jan. 2013. But the final price of venue
and hotels comes out in late March of 2014 I thought. So I think all the
ambassadors should think of this issue when preparing biding materials.
Yes, in fact for large bookings, a lot of hotels allow you to confirm
well in advance. In any case, there is never a perfect match in
estimates quoted during bidding and the final cost. A bit of
variation is expected based on a lot of variables, including last
minute sponsors or last minute cancellations.
