This is for you and anybody else on the list.  We usually need someone 
to act as local arrangements chair in conjunction with our conference 
manager and a local committee.  Most of the time we prefer to have an 
institution be the host but as recently as Seattle we've done it without 
a host institution.  In fact, I'm not sure if we have an official host 
this year in D.C., although LC had always done it there for us in the 
past.  We need a place to meet and that could be either a hotel or 
meeting spaces at the host institution.  And a room package at a hotel 
or a GOOD dorm set-up.  (Last time in D.C. in the late 80s we had a 
whole bunch of defections from the flea bitten-university dorm to the 
wonderful bed and breakfast we were staying at on Capitol Hill.  This 
time in DC we are at what is supposedly a luxury hotel  At that price, 
it BETTER be!)
Brenda Nelson-Strauss is the Conference Manager and she would be the one 
to contact.

Usually you have to be the one doing the asking.  Yes, I asked you and 
Elizabeth and several others to speak when I was Program Chair because I 
was being pro-active and there were people like you that I wanted to get 
involved with ARSC.  I've done five ARSC conferences over the years and 
I think that those had my special touch on the program.  But most of the 
others work mainly with what comes in from the call for papers.   That 
was posted here on the 78-L by Bill Klinger on 9/9/08 at 9:31 PM 
Eastern.  It can also be found on the ARSC website at  
http://www.arsc-audio.org    David Giovannoni is the Program Chair, and 
the deadline for proposals is Jan 5.
