===Food===

Refreshments at morning and afternoon breaks
Possibly, lunch package (buffet or box lunches) often reserved on the conference registration form
Make sure there are good vegetarian dishes and snacks.

===Social events===

* '''Reception:''' in a nice area close to the main event, on the night before the main event. Include one or two drinks free.
* '''Banquet:''' traditionally, in an unusual or nice setting (museum, garden, etc.). The banquet should be self-financed (either by banquet tickets alone or by being supplemented by sponsorships). Tickets generally do not run over $45 per person (at the most!). The ACL Exec usually has a reserved table.
* '''Entertainment:''' traditionally, a band after the banquet, for dancing
* '''Excursion(s)''' (possibly): on the tutorial day and/or one day before/after conference, or during, for conference families
* '''ACL Exec Dinner:''' The Exec usually holds a dinner for about 50 people the night before the banquet, in a location possibly off-campus. This should be arranged with the ACL Secretary.
