Some Explanations
Last year I said I had a $4500 deficit. Why?
We saved an extra $1100 on the banquet. Got a few more full-fare non-ACM registrations! ACM is tax-exempt in Massachusetts!
It was close!
![Page 10: PODC 2004 Business Meeting Mark Tuttle, HP Labs Steering Committee](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032722/56649ced5503460f949b9a31/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Main Pitfalls• 132 registrations
51 students 69 full-fare
42 % at student rate! This percentage has been growing in the last
couple years. This is good for PODC but hard for the budget!
More of this in 2004.

Dijkstra Prize proposals
• ACM PODC and EATCS DISC as joint sponsors– DISC will match PODC’s contribution to endowment
– Cash value of prize will double to $2,000
– Advantages:
• Increase visibility in Europe via EATCS
• Increase interest by doubling the cash value
• Dijkstra Prize Lecture– A ceremony awarding the prize followed by…

Registration fee proposals
• Deep student discounts are no longer practical– Students ratio grown from 1:3 in 2000 to 1:1 in 2004
– 1:3: to discount students $100, charge nonstudents $33
– 1:1: to discount students $100, charge nonstudents $100
• Student ratio uncertainty hamstrings organizers• Proposal: Fix some surcharge like 20%
– Nonstudents pay 120% of actual costs
– Students pay 40% (1:3) to 80% (1:1) depending on ratio
– 2004 fees would have been $291/183 vs $335/130
• Proposal: banquet optional? travel grants?

PODC/SPAA 2005July 17-20
• Main event is collocation with SPAA– Several joint sessions, probably no festival etc…
• Was to be in Santa Fe – Hotel rates turned out to be $150+ not $99
– Available dates were badly restricted by tourism season
• But we’re going to Vegas!

Alexis Park Resort• “… the only reasonable choice in Las Vegas”
- Guy Blelloch, PLDI’97• “I used pretty much all the venues available … the
most satisfactory … arrangement I had was with the Alexis Park. It's a mile off the strip, … and within an easy walk of a half dozen great restaurants.”
-Hal Berghel, UNLV• “…the conference rooms were fine …the best option
…the location could not be better.”-Wolf Bein, UNLV

Alexis Park Resort
• Cheap rooms, expensive food (ACM says “normal”)– Hotel: $79/night
– Registration: perhaps $475 full, $325 student
• From Boston: registration + five nights + airfare:– Saint John: $335 + 5*125 + 404 = $1364
– Las Vegas: $475 + 5*79 + 221 = $1091
• How important is it to keep registration <$400?– Cut food? Cut reception? Cut banquet? Cut proceedings?
