Hey all, First of all, thanks to Jeffrey for doing the research on this. Does anyone who have more experience fom Budapest have other suggestions?
I think the idea of having a communal space where we meet is essential. In past VlogEurope sessions we have had clusters of people sharing space, and it has added greatly to the experience of the whole event. The reason why we want these things to be settled already now months before the event is that it enables us to get better deals as well as ensure that our booking does not come so late that everything is occupied. My personal hope is that we can have 2 such clusters settled within a short period of time, and that as we get people filled into the hives, we can begin working on the context of the weekend, finding not only topics to cover this year, but also presenters, and a way for the different 'sessions' to lead to something being created (which was a focus introduced during the 06 VlogEurope in Milan). We will be filling the VlogEuerope blog with further information and discussion about topics and ideas over the coming weeks, that is at www.vlogeurope.com So again: If you have better suggestions for spaces in Budapest, please let us know. And yes, of course you are free to just choose your own hotel/hostel that weekend. We will not Force you to eat your breakfast while 8 other people are filming your face :) Best, Raymond M.
