It would be great to talk next week. Yao will be away teaching for the Women's Initiative and Kay will be in clinic, but I could come over to Microsoft to meet since I'm on campus at MIT.<br>

Great to hear from you! So it appears that there is a huge conflict on the 10<sup>th</sup> for the PAX East Region conference – this is a big conference every year that we started to host annually starting a few years ago… 4p is the hard stop time. Both the
1<sup>st</sup> floor conference center and the 10<sup>th</sup>/11<sup>th</sup> floor Commons are booked starting 4p on.. Are there any other potential dates that would work? I’m adding Leah to this thread as she can give some input for availability…</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">Hi Edwin,<br>
<br>
Thank you for looking into room availability for us! <br>
<br>
Can you book the 110 person room on Thursday March 10 for one of the conference events for us? Is the room not available after 4pm? We're working on the schedule of right now but it's likely we'll have two events on March 10, one in the afternoon and one in
the evening. Could you please help us check if there is any availability for rooms in the evening?<br>
<br>
Also, is the room tiered or flat, and are seats fixed or movable? This info will give our event leads a better idea for the planning.<br>
<br>
Re funding, Jean mentioned that you talked about contributing $1000 (which may have included catering) for the Feministing panel before, is the funding still available? We're also having some problem with covering the speaker fees. We're inviting Dina Goode
to be a speaker for the communication workshop. Are you familiar with her? Dina is a great speaker and has a close connection with Microsoft. Microsoft hires her to give talks on communication skills several times each year. She is currently asking for $2400
to cover the travel and speaker fee. We wonder if there is any possibility that Microsoft can help cover part of the fee, or if Microsoft is interested in bringing her to Boston around March 9-11 for another event and we can combine the travel cost?<br>
<br>
Thanks a lot and hope to hear from you soon! :)<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
-Yao</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">Hi Edwin,<br>
<br>
It would be great if we can use the space for at least one event during the conference. Will you/MS NERD be interested in funding for any of the events?<br>
<br>
Also, the conference date of March 9-11 is tentative, and may subject to change due to the availability of the keynote speaker. We'll try to keep it in that week (second week of March), so could you please check availability during that week?<br>
<br>
Thanks a lot. Looking forward to hear back from you soon. :)<br>
