At the present time we only have 5 rooms reserved at the location of the conference.

We need to get 5 more to make the event less costly for us.  While I am trying to make this a successful event I am finding it difficult to believe that so few actually have registered and made reservations at the site.

All made by Zynga, all very popular, all making barrels of cash, all have the suffix "Ville"... so lots of things in common really.
