Blogging faux pas: catching up on blogs all at once. Apologies. Last Monday, I went to the Hotel Savery on Locust in downtown Des Moines. The Savery is going to host the TYCA 2010 conference. Get excited because early in October of next year, the streets of this fair city will be bustling with English teachers at Two Year Colleges from around the Mid-west. Par-tay.
The Savery is a nice hotel, as nice as a historic hotel can be when it was bought out by Marriott. The lobby is almost too hip to stand, and the rooms are both ornate and functional. I was sad to hear that the Herbert Hoover ballroom was too much of a mouthful for many guests. They had to rename the ballroom the Terrace Ballroom.
I did learn a lot about event planning, specifically who chooses the food that gets served at conference luncheons and why.
