We have venues which probably are cheaper in Central and South America and Africa, but don’t want to go there … I don’t think is just a matter of price, but conveniente, and availability of sufficient facilities as we need.

All will love Madrid, I’m sure about that!

So we can start negotiating with the hotel right after the meeting and have the next one in March or November!

Regards,
Jordi

It sounds like Madrid may have the infrastructure needed to deal with normal hot temperatures. But Spain did have a massive blackout earlier this year. If that happens on a day when there's a high of 37C, will people with health vulnerabilities be okay?
