Need to Find an Event Venue?

I don't know why I like this site so much. I never plan events for any group larger than my family, but that doesn't mean you don't plan large events. Librarians exist to serve their patrons (don't we?), so I decided to go "off road" with this entry (meaning it's not really related to legal anything). Eventective (like "event" and "detective" put together) allows you to search for space near and airport or in a particular city and/or state. Input what type of space you need -- conference, classroom, theater, etc. or leave it no preference. The "no preference" selection gave me more results.

Once you get results, you can sort them by zip code, distance, city-state, state-city or alphabetically. You can refine your search and even save your search criteria (requires registration), which gives you more options. Results also have a link to MapQuest maps and to the facility if it has a website. Very nice. Now, I just have to find an event to plan!
