Shoutout to fbisurveillancevan21, a dedicated Indiana editor who led the hotel search for both 2016 and 2017 Great Lakes Region meetups, and put together notes about what he has learned to look for. His hard work made our job a ''lot'' easier!

As a data point, Waze agreed to a $4,500 catering minimum (before service charge and tax) for GLR meetup in Indianapolis. Suspect the catering costs will be (much) higher in DC which is fine.

* Upgraded rooms at normal room price
Source: [http://www.maine.gov/local/ Maine.gov: Local]
** See if you can't get the Hotel Coordinator and/or RC a free room upgrade
[[Category:Maine]]
* One free room for every N booked
* If we agree to schedule an optional out-of-pocket meal for the group in the hotel, what do we get? Can we get group discount, or leverage that extra spend to get reductions elsewhere?
 
=== Amenities ===
 
Discuss what amenities are available onsite, as well as nearby
 
* Closest grocery store
* Closest pharmacy
* Gyms
* Sauna
* Spa/Massage
* Bars
* Restaurants
* Coffee
* Local attractions
* Golf
* Tennis
 
== Event Summary/Agenda ==
 
I've been sending the following list to our event contacts and they've said it's been very useful in confirming the proposals are complete.
 
'''Friday'''
* If possible/availability permitting: Up to 25 "standard" hotel rooms at the group rate
** MUST NOT!!! be listed in the proposal! If any mention is made of these rooms in the contract it will confuse Waze staff and slow down the entire effort
** These are just a nice-to-have/convenience for people to be in the hotel the night before the meeting starts on their own dime
** We can absolutely tell people to book their own rooms elsewhere, but it's easy extra income for the hotel if we can arrange it and increases the attractiveness of the overall proposal dramatically
* Nice-to-have (not must-have!): reserved bar space Friday night
** Reserved space inside the bar for ~20 people on Friday night with dedicated wait staff for a group that size
 
'''Saturday'''
* 40 "standard" hotel rooms for Saturday night
** Wireless internet for hotel guests needs to be included in room cost (preferably comped)
* Conf space for 50 people (~8am-7pm)
** Registration: need one, preferably two, large rectangular tables set up immediately outside our space for registration/badging (7am-10am)
** Sq ft: minimum 1,100-1,200; vastly preferable to get ~1,500
** Setup
*** Round tables, largest possible (10-12 ideal, 8 minimum)
*** We've found that we can't staff round tables at full capacity comfortably, so we'd need to plan for
**** 6 people at 8-person tables, qty 7 tables
**** 7 people at 10-person tables, qty 6 tables
**** 8 people at 12-person tables, qty 5 tables
*** If possible, we'd like to get ~10 chairs along a wall for "extras" (usually significant others who want to attend the presentations)
**** A table in front of them would be a plus, but again, must not cramp the room or cost extra
** A/V needs: projector, sound system, ability to drive sound system with microphone and computer
** Wireless internet: Please quote the ''cheapest'' option possible to get very basic wifi for 50 people
** Power needs: must have power strips run to TOP of tables, with at least one plug per seat
* Catering (40 people)
** Full breakfast (8-9am)
** Full lunch (1-2pm)
** Snacks/coffee/tea/soda all day
* Nice-to-have (not must-have!): reserved bar space Saturday night
** Reserved space inside the bar for ~50 people on Friday night with dedicated wait staff for a group of that size
 
'''Sunday'''
* Same conf space as the previous day  (~9am-3pm)
** No change to table setup
** No A/V needed!
** Power and internet needs are unchanged
* Catering (40 people)
** Full breakfast (9:30-10:30am)
** Snacks/coffee/tea/soda all day
** NO lunch provided!
 
'''Expected Timeline'''
* Local Volunteers
** '''Tour venues, adjust proposals''': now through mid-February
** '''Select three top proposals, submit to Waze''': end of February
* Waze Employees
** '''Final negotiations''': March
** '''Select winning bid, sign contract, pay first down-payment''': end of March/early April
 
== BOTG Survey ==
 
For each hotel, put eyes-on and make detailed notes about:
 
* Confirm date of last major renovation/remodel
* Location/ease of access
* Ambiance
* Standard rooms
** Size
** View
** Bathroom size, anything noteworthy (e.g., huge shower with rainfall head in ceiling)
* Conference space
** Size (X by Y feet)
** Lighting options
*** See full lit
*** See lighting that would be used during projection (check glare)
** Double check radius/number of seats per table
** Ask again about power setup at table

Divided up by metro line the hotels are closest to.
 
'''NOTE''': Blue and Yellow lines are preferred as they are direct from DCA, no need for a metro transfer, which can be confusing to people who haven't done it before.
