It's /usr/group who picks sites for UniForum:  408-986-8840.
Incidentally, New York and Boston (there was a Boston USENIX in 1982)
also have facilities, but they, like Chicago, are quite expensive due
to their union arrangements.

There is no summer UniForum (yes, I know about August 89 in D.C.:  that's
not a regular conference).
