Tech schools with big computer chess interests like MIT or Alberta are good candidates, and possibly the big chess colleges like UTD or UMBC. It is possible that we could get free pub if UTD or UMBC hosted the event (maybe a mention in Chess Life or something), and there is certainly no shortage of strong players at those schools. Maybe we could get some of their "students" to play against some computers or give commentary or a lecture or something. Also, what about chess clubs? I doubt there are many that could offer financial support, but it might be a good, cheap venue, and we might get more spectators.
