generally had a good time and learned a lot. It was great for those who
couldn't make it all the way to the conference, but also pr
Definitely interested. I did attend, and have been catching up on videos
of talks I missed ever since, but that's still six days worth of video

+1. How about contacting Skills Matters..? They have a large screen,
bandwidth, chairs and help (use of premises free IIRC) community
organised free events. Also, there is already a precedent... the

The Hub Kings Cross is another nice place to have things hosted at, though
I think there may be costs associate with it. Might be worth looking into
