Quebec was great for the event itself (venue, hotels, food, sightseeing)
and flights were definitely good enough. I'd be happy to attend another
conference in Quebec City.

As someone mentioned some emails ago, if the greatest complaints are an
extra (30 minutes long) plane ride and air a bit cold on some rooms,
then I believe the local hosts can be very proud of having held a great
event.
