With IMAC, 20 Amp electrical service is $75.00. Internet for one booth if router is used.
Without question, the hotel for MACNA is more sophisticated than the one used for IMAC.
This transulate into a better venue with more no cost amenities.

We are giving everyone electric. Just about everyone wants it anyway. At the very least, people have laptops plugged in, cell phone recharging, little lights to showcase drygoods, etc.
A few vendors need a phone line for credit card transactions.
The hotel has free wireless thoroughout, but it is sketchy at best once you get to the attached exhibition center. Again, some vendors are going to require dedicated service for sales.
Our booth pricing was based upon MACNA XVII as those were the figures we had in front of us. When we setup our pricing, no one knew if MACNA XVIII was going to make money or not, so we based our numbers according to Washington's show as they made a very modest profit.
