The reason for my initial comment was that East of England is strong in software development, but missing from that seminar tour, which may suggest software development companies are not the target audience (or that the provider is clueless or has a grudge or something else, but I think those are less likely...) Fewer delegates? Possibly. Do you know where your audience is? More expensive? Here on the fringe of a region, the venues seem far cheaper than London, as far as I can tell. Even if you go somewhere inland with fast links to most of the other centres and subcentres in the region, it's still pretty cheap.
