I hear you. We have a detailed budget model and we're not splurging in 
any way. Organizing a conference has quite a few odds and ends and weird 
pricing. As an example, location providers offer good prices for the 
location proper BUT they require using their own catering services, 
which is how they make money. I co-organized a few conferences and, 
believe me, a cookie has a different taste when you know it was $5.

That being said, if anyone on this forum works in the Bay Area and takes 
this to their employer, we'd save a ton of expenses if a company could 
offer a meeting room. I have initiated such with Facebook, and they're 
looking into it. All - please email me if such an opportunity exists.

Sounds great, thanks!
