GMAT Club will sponsor up to $2000 of your expenses. You could let one person handle the payments and have them mail the receipts to us.

I vote for Chicago (fairly central to everyone and with the largest GMATClub representation it seems) and the first weekend in June!

Woah, that's awesome!

Chicago makes the most sense. However, I'm not sure if I'd be able to make it :(

Seems like half the people here are going to chicago area schools, and will be there 2 to 3 times before then.

So I vote LA!

I agree. Come take a vacation and loosen your ties a little guys. Let's do it in Santa Barbara.

Might I gently remind people that the $2,000 subsidy Praetorian has so generously offered to help host this event applies to the entire event and not every GC member in attendance. :)

So $2,000 towards the cost of the entire event. Not $2,000 per attendee. :lol:
