Dublin has cheap direct flights from quite a few places in the
US, as well as pretty much everywhere in europe.
Obviously I will suggest London, but I guess it is a
non-starter. The obvious venue would be Skills Matter's
CodeNode, but the cost of accommodation in London is
horrifying, and commuting is a non-starter. Well except for me.
There are venues such as Coventry, the Techno Park has a great
venue for up to about 200 people and fairly cheap and very
local accommodation. (PyConUK has been using this venue for the
last few years very successfully, it has only moved to Cardiff
for a change and because of the problem of outgrowing the
venue.)
I have done the Gatwick → Dublin → (Gatwick | Birmingham) a few
times,
but on expenses so used taxis from Dublin airport to either
Pearse
Street or E Wall Road – the hotels shall remain nameless.
What venue would be used in Dublin? I guess we could ask the
PyConIE
folk what they do, one of the hotels I think.
Another +1 for Dublin here too.
PyConIE is in the Radisson, which is very central and handy for
everyone.
Theres many many other venues around the city too - including the
RDS which has oceans of event space.
Also, tis a lovely city!
