<Signs that don’t make sense to some “No Parking”>
Jon and Mike discuss how hotels seem to be following a more subtle version of the unbundled services that airlines are doing. Are meeting planners and meeting organizers getting the less service from hotels and venues who are trying to make revenue from areas which do not serve the customers best interests?

Hotel “supervisor” from AV staff
Internet charges
Rigging and electrical
AV companies taking over control of rigging in venues….lack of price controls or guidelines.
Unions and union control of a venue.
