[Qgis-psc] QGIS User Conference 's-Hertogenbosch

[Raymond Nijssen]

Dear PSC,

The last weeks we've been working hard on making a plan for the UC in 
April. The conference outline will be:

April 18-19: User Conference
April 20: Onboarding Day (+ Contributor Meeting)
April 21-23: Contributor Meeting

The venue "Grasso" is an old factory building that is currently being 
reconstructed to a shared office. We can use the main old factory hall 
for the UC plus 4 small meeting rooms. A big attic will be available all 
6 days, for the Contributor Meeting and break out room during the 
conference. (Note that the attic is only accessible by stairs, 
unfortunately there is no elevator.)

Our plan is to go for a conference + unconference set up, having a 
scheduled program with presentations and workshops for the main room and 
a few meeting rooms but also reserving some meeting rooms for 
spontaneous talks, discussions and any other kind of meetings.

As the venue is not a conference venue, it lacks a restaurant. 
Fortunately we have found a catering service living next door. They have 
offered us to put up a bar in the main hall and make sure we will have 
coffee breaks, lunch and drinks all day.

With the current catering offer and other expenses, a 2-day conference 
ticket will cost 200 euros. We won't sell separate workshop tickets, 
everything we offer will be included and we don't yet know exactly what.

Do you think we can proceed? The website is almost finished and we think 
should go live asap.

Kind regards on behalf of the LOC,

Raymond
