[E-trademarks] Sunday evening event?

Thu Apr 11 20:20:11 EDT 2024

I’m equally limited to attend up to 7:00 on either Sun or Tues. So, no clear preference for me.

I think Sunday evening would probably be pretty good…

Just my 2 cents

Hello folks.  In the past, many times the e-Trademarks reception has been either the Sunday evening or the Monday evening.  And then the other constraint was to pick which ever of those evenings was not the same as Meet the Bloggers.

We we just saw is that apparently there will not be a Meet the Bloggers this year at INTA.  The next Meet the Bloggers will apparently be in 2025.

That leaves us open to have our choice of the Sunday or the Monday.  My preference being the Sunday evening, just like Thilo.

But very loyal and long-time listserv member Maria Crimi Speth did some leg work and she found a venue that would be available on Tuesday during happy hour.  Thank you Maria for finding this option.

You can tell from what I am writing here that I am leaning toward the Sunday evening time slot.

Of course as a general matter if you were to contact any of a dozen hotels (which I just got done doing), the usual news is that every event space in just about every hotel in Atlanta is already booked.  And just about every event space in a bar or restaurant is already booked.  But against all odds I found one hotel that has one event space available on Sunday evening.  The Hyatt Regency.  Yes, the very first ever Hyatt Recency, designed by John Portman.  The Portman 22-story atrium design, opened to the public in 1967, was revolutionary for its time.

This event space that is available on Sunday evening is not, however revolutionary in any way.  It is a boring space in the bowels of the hotel.  But no matter how boring it is, our listserv members would make the space exciting.

What preferences do listserv members have as between the two time slots?  Sunday evening (probably 6-9 PM or ), or Tuesday happy hour time?

 Carl
