[Hidden-tech] Word Press Campus hosts?

[Bethany Seeger]

This interest is great!     Just so folks know, I am in no way
associated with the main organizers - I just think it'd be really great
to bring something like this to the valley.
Here are some of their listed requirements below.  I hadn't read through
them before.
------
*Here are a few details/areas concerning the event that are
important to us:*
 * We want the event to be held on a university campus.
 * We’re looking for availability in early summer months (June/July),
   but this is flexible.
 * We want to keep the cost reasonable for our attendees.
 * We want to be close to an international or non-regional airport that
   has easily available flights.
 * We want attendees to have access to on, or near, campus housing.
 * What kind of catering options are available, or limited, by
   your venue?
 * What are nearby entertainment options? We are quite fond of karaoke.
 * We need at least 1 room that seats 200+ for main sessions and 3-4
   rooms that seat 80+ for breakout sessions.
 * Will there be available parking on-site or nearby?
 * We need session recording/live streaming capabilities.
 * We need strong wifi to support 200+ attendees during sessions.
 * We need tech/AV support to ensure wifi and live streaming stay
   running.

I can't think of any space on Amherst College that would easily fit that
bill - but I don't know the entire campus super well.  There are spaces,
but they might be set apart and it's kind of nice to have this setup in
one area / building.   It did make me think of the space that NERD
summit uses - for the most part that would be ideally suited, except for
seating for lunches.
