Hi Bex,
We'd like to give the vendors an idea of when the final decision of
venue would be made. After the bids are received, do you know when the
final call will be made between bids?
While there are no guarantees, I hope a final decision can be made
within 2-4 weeks. That means we should be able to commit within 6 weeks
of today. I will endeavor to have the decision made ASAP as we need to
begin the actual conference planning :)
regards,
bex
