Yes, the rate was $20 per day cheaper than their regular rate (for
comparison, their discount for internet registration was $10 per day
cheaper than regular).

I agree on all counts. Moving events are good for the annual meeting of
a national or larger organization, but not good for smaller events. At
some point, we may have an annual Lugnet conference, and that would be
good to rotate about the world (but note that such a thing will not be
easily attendable on a regular basis by people with limited means).
