I attended the conference in my father´s place. (아버지를 대리하여 회의에 참석했다.)

I contacted hotels in the area. The Madison has the best rates, but the conference room is small. The Walton is slightly higher, but their conference room is much larger. (그 지역 호텔 몇 군데에 연락해 봤는데요 매디슨 호텔 요금이 가장 저렴하긴 한데, 회의실이 작아요. 월튼 호텔은 요금이 조금 더 비싸지만, 회의실은 훨씬 더 커요.)

Most of the conference sites have already been designated by the conference committee. (대부분의 회의 장소가 위원회에 의해 이미 지정되었다.)
