I would agree with the sufficiently large venue - although it could be
done (and there are a lot of things cooking this year in terms of new
conference centres). Toronto or montreal would be better choices from
that perspective.
What suprised me was the "bloody awkward" to get to Ottawa being a

My contention is it is much more easier to get here than to Mineapolis.
