I will not be chairing the next conference. So I am looking for someone to
stand up and volunteer. If there is no volunteer, there will not be a
conference.
People who are passionate about C/C Europe 2025 should participate in
this other thread, which is the most important decision to make:

Yes, I am being cynical here. It’s because I have endured 20 years of
these meetings, and half of them devolved into shouting matches (no, I’m
not exaggerating. Ask Shane for his stories!) and the rest were just a
waste of time.
If there is a which-city BOF, let me know! I'll be in the back,
cheering you on. Don't mind the brown bag I'm drinking from.
I would encourage you, rather than having a “share our opinions” meeting,
to delegate specific tasks, figure out a timeline for reporting and
completion of those tasks, and then go get a beer.

My suggestion: make a wiki page or text file somewhere to base C/C EU 25
planning from [1] so you can collect information.
Then ask for volunteers who have experience with specific cities to list
themselves, and include brief notes about *how* they can help as a local
contact: do they know specific venues, have they run events locally, can
they work as local marketing help, etc.
That will help any future conference, once the organizing team starts
doing venue selection (which is primarily costing/contracts/travel).
