So I learned from this article that food is the greatest cost for a conference organizer. For example: "a can of soda costs the organization up to $14... OLC is typically charged $158 per gallon of coffee." Why? Location: for example, OLC Accelerate is being held at "the magical Swan and Dolphin Resort in sunny Orlando, Florida." Why? I know, it's hard to find event venues that don't have restrictions on external food and services. But it's hard to find any venues that will charge more than premium hotels in Florida. My advice: if you can go online, do it. If you can't go online, find good and reliable venues that don't rip you off. Students and taxpayers are paying those fees, in many cases. It doesn't seem right to turn around and give it to Disney for a $14 can of Coke.
