Re: [PLUG] aKademy 2008, The Philadelphia Konvention?


And Philly should easily beat other east coast cities when it comes to cost of hotels, convention center space, etc.,.

As for cost, this is one of the best reasons for holding it in Philly.  Seeing 

as the dollar will almost certainly continue its downward slide, every Euro 

or Pound spent by the e.V. or the attendees will go much further than it 

would in Europe.  True, there's a longer plane ride, but the other reduced 

expenses of the trip will offset much of the cost.  Philadelphia is also 

right on the East coast, so it's still not too great a journey for a 

European.
