Do you know if UBC's facility at Robson Square in Vancouver might be in
the running? Or is it too small and/or too busy?

An event in the Northwest would be best during September or early October
before the weather turns (but after peak pricing and the wildfire season).
The major universities in Seattle (UW) and Portland (PSU) are close to
downtown, but Vancouver's (UBC or SFU) are remote and require bus transfers.
Any of the three would be fine, but note that Portland has fewer plane
connections. There are trains and Intercity coach buses that connect the
three, taking about 3.5 to 4 hours for Portland-Seattle and
Seattle-Vancouver (including border customs).
I'd be happy to work on this if we can grab some local sponsors.

Subject: Re: [Wikimedia Cascadia] Wikipedia Conference 2020
I know someone in Toronto who was going to suggest their city. The feeling
I got talking to some folks is that they were trying to have it be more
accessible to others, having the event either away from the coasts of the
USA (some one mentioned Detroit) or in other North American countries
(Canada, Mexico). In this case I'd love to see it happen in Vancouver
instead of Seattle or Portland.

I'd certainly be in, though this is not necessarily the time of year
people would most want to be in Seattle.
How many people "on the ground" do you think it requires? How big is
this year's conference?

People attending from the NW include SounderBruce, Another Believer,
RageSoss, & Peaceray, so I suggest taking with some of us. Let us not
forget Vancouver, BC as well!

Conference
North America & I've had 6 different people suggest to me that next
year's
conference be in Seattle or Portland (and that is just on the first
day)
Do
you think this would be of interest to this chapter? Are there enough
members here to pull this off? Just planting a seed.
Liz
FWIW, I'm interested in helping out.
