I do think, even if only as a sop to those of us (like myself) who get fed up how RunRev, for all their ballyhoo about China and so forth, do seem to give the impression that they don't really seem to think outside a North Atlantic box, the survey would have looked a bit more friendly if it had

The survey asked if one were likely to attend; but as the choice of where one could attend was restricted the results would be like a self-fulfilling prophecy. Err - no - we had a shortlist of areas in which we know we could afford to run a conference based on the data that we have (i.e. get

Re: Silly conference survey

A conference requires a lot of work, planning, and inevitably tons of problem solving. Trust me. Flights are one expense but lodging can be far far greater. Negotiating with a hotel is usually a good idea. European Perspective - it would currently cost me £50 to take Ryanair from Malta to

Has that been true recently? I’ve been to four conferences now, San Jose, near Atlantic City, San Diego, and Edinburgh. Seems mostly US. > On Sep 8, 2015, at 3:26 PM, PystCat wrote: > > You DO realize that they hold it in the states every OTHER year, right...? > One year

Re: Silly conference survey

Cheap accommodation and travel is key I believe. And I hope they call a halt to the two-tier hotel tradition. I think everyone will be happier in one reasonably priced hotel. Those who really want to can book alternative accommodation. Las Vegas is good choice for reasons given. But I was very
