This list is for cities only, without any specific venue having been selected.

Otherwise, there is a high risk of anything bad happening. Did happen already several times. Once that it is resolved, I will be happy to work on that. A further problem is the high cost of the suitable hotels/conference centers, at least compared with Madrid.

Thank you for that feedback.  We last asked for feedback on Barcelona in March 2017 and may now need to formally ask for further feedback given the changing circumstances since then.

kind regards

This follows extensive assessment of each city including the solicitation and analysis of community feedback. This update adds 29 cities to the list of those assessed as suitable and 2 to those assessed as unsuitable while 8 are still being assessed.
