Where should we have the 6th Annual SARGIS Meeting?

We need a Search and Rescue Team to help us host our 6th Annual Search and Rescue GIS Meeting.

Ideally it would be at a location that: 

• Has a networked computer lab with +20 computers for MapSAR / IGT4SAR training (A University Campus or Training Center)
• A meeting room with projector, high speed internet, and room for +30 people 
• Accessible by airport and public transportation 
• Tent camping nearby 
• Within 30 miles of a microbrewery & a National Park site 

This map should help (zoom in to your area of interest for more local intel)

I can help organize the event, but need someone to take care of on-site logistics. For example, helping the IT department at a University setup computers for training (install software, test tutorials, etc). We could also consider finding a sponsor for the event once we know where it will be. 

Create your free online surveys with SurveyMonkey , the world's leading questionnaire tool.

I think this year we will open up the event to a webcast for more events so those of you who cannot make it can still attend. 

Here is the agenda from last year.

Here are results as of 01/27/2014. 

This is based on 100 votes so far. I will leave the survey open until Friday - but it is looking like two locations will be needed, joined via web cast.

If you have ever been to the Esri International User Conference - you know it can be overwhelming to navigate all of the activities during the week. Here are some tips if you are a "SARGIS geek" and will be attending (or things to follow up on if you can't make it)":
