As many of you know, I'm working on the committee for the
HP2003 Symposium and we've had a very weird question from a possible committee member that I just can't suss out.
We have planned to try and get corporate sponsorship to cover some breaks or continental breakfast for all attendees - bagels, danish, coffee, iced tea, fruit, cookies - all depends on the time of day. She says that we shouldn't think to do something like that, but instead should have a suite for attendees.
What is the difference? What am I not seeing? Why would having food in a separate room somehow be a better idea?
Any insight?
