I'd like to suggest Albuquerque, New Mexico. It's a tourist town, so lots of hotels and a large airport. Rooms have a reasonable rate, and lots of camping for the adventurous. Sept-Oct is a great time of year weather wise. The Balloon Fiesta is the first Sat. in Oct., and a great sight for everyone. Symposium committee please consider NM.
