Locations


 * Suggested Sites:**
 * 1) Chicagoland = Suburbia - NORTHERN
 * 2) Near Chad Lehman's - Possibly even in his new garage.
 * 3) Needs to be in a space that exemplifies innovation and inspires. I'm thinking a school of some sort, but not sure which ones would fit the bill. (LG)
 * 4) Kansas - Not sure where exactly but there are __many__ plurkers and techies interested in technology in this state!
 * 5) Great speakers available(I think) from Kansas including Kevin Honeycutt, Tammy Worcester, Cyndi Danner Kuhn (KSU), etc.
 * 6) Illinois State! We could make an impact by inviting faculty and administrators to join us - ISU is graduating more teachers than any school in the midwest region. It's central location would make it easily accessed by folks from all of the surrounding states.
 * 7) Akron, Ohio. Possibly hold conference at [|The National Inventors Hall of Fame School... Center for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Learning] [[|more info]]. It is right next door to [|The University of Akron], which also has [|conference facilities] and hotel rooms at the [|Quaker Square Inn].


 * Points to consider regarding a Site:**
 * 1) The site needs to be "FREE" in my opinion or at least a negligible cost.
 * 2) What do you think of having a Over / Under type of approach = Attendees can only come if they bring a "Newbie" as well. **I like this - maybe strongly encourage.
 * 3) Sponsors pick up some of the tab if there is a tab.
