Bristol vs. London
- Support Bristol, although as a resident, I have a conflict of interest. I don't currently hold membership, but will update this when that changes. Holding the event in Bristol is likely to offer the following benefits over London:
- Reduced cost (venues for organisers, accommodation for attendees)
- Potential support/sponsorship from independent creative businesses to balance large corporate entities
- Compact city
- permits easy access to surrounding geographical areas
- has potential to involve all city's stakeholders
- Potential to arrange (subsidised) shuttle buses via discussions with FreeBus

- The cost saving will be more than cancelled out by the added cost of getting there. For most people in the world, you have to go via London to get to Bristol, so it inevitably costs more. --Tango 01:23, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
Move to Meta?
Hey. :-)
What's the plan about moving this to meta? Other bids are piling up there and it'd be good to have them developed on a more high-visibility wiki for others to see...
