Request for Proposal - 2015 Michigan Works! Annual Conference
1. In the F&B requirements, you indicated you need one lunch for 600 people. Is this a separate room for lunch? Is it lunch on Monday or lunch on Monday and Tuesday both? And, can it be within the same general session space? I looked at your agenda from 2011, and I am assuming the 600 person lunch is the lunch on Monday, but just wanted to be sure.
There is only one lunch and it takes place on Monday, the lunch is held in the general session space. We do not have a lunch on Tuesday.
2. We are working on putting together your proposal for 2015 and on peak you actualized 268 rooms and in 2015 you are asking for 350. Do you expect more attends in 2015 is there something special about this year vs. this past year?
The intent is to ensure all of our guests are able to stay in one location. The number we are requesting reflects an increased number to accommodate for growth at our conference and fluctuations in our registrations.
