The Insiders List of Insider Information for the 2012 RNC Convention in Tampa
Written by John Green Subject: Politics: Republican CampaignsIn my conversation with the convention I have learned that as of today
there isn't any public list of events put out by the host committee or committee
on arraignments. But this site is helpful.
On the opening page it has a google
doc calendar of all the republican events in the Greater Tampa Bay Area:

It also has a link to the maps of each states delegation hotel location:

This site allows you to go day by day and see a map as well as a calendar
