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:
    1. Reduced cost (venues for organisers, accommodation for attendees)
    2. Potential support/sponsorship from independent creative businesses to balance large corporate entities
    3. Compact city
      • permits easy access to surrounding geographical areas
      • has potential to involve all city's stakeholders
    4. Potential to arrange (subsidised) shuttle buses via discussions with FreeBus
