Oddly I was speaking to someone on the last day and said 'Prague could
be the new Minneapolis'... I really liked the venue.   It had plenty
of space, lots of local places to get good food (for 3x the quality and
1/3 the price of the hotel itself :) for ad-hoc meetings, was sufficiently 
compact to get around quickly, and was topped off by excellent logistics 
including the very robust WLAN.

That's the second event I've attended in Prague, and both were very
enjoyable for me.   Great city and friendly people.

BTW I'm not a smoker, and have had health issues with secondary smoke,
but I think it's quite possible with the hotel's support to minimise the
effects while allowing the smokers to do their thing.   I wouldn't want
that issue to be a blocker on returning to somewhere like Prague one day
(but with the Czech Republic now being in the EU it's not unlikely that
EU legislation will lead to some type of ban soon, as it has in other EU 
countries).
