That depends entirely on what is meant by "hosting." Events like this
certainly needs a crew on the ground, a certain number of sponsors of
connectivity, equipment and the like, but we did not have much trouble
getting any of that for APRICOT, and we had a pretty decent terminal
room even by IETF standards. We even had wireless.
We also had a couple of truly unforgetable social events, sponsored by
Telecom Malaysia and by the people who run the Multimedia Supercorridor.
Geek bonuses: KL has the tallest building in the world, lots of cheap and
spicy food, and if you need a copy of Windows, it's about $3.50 from the
local "dealers". (Only until you get home and purchase the official
version of course ;-)
