When looking at the flight price (in November or December), it was twice as expensive to fly to SLL (from Berlin, using Air France) than to fly to LA / SF. So I'd favor New York over Boston for example.

Fly tips: Buy about 6 week in advance, this is when prices are the lowest. Buy outside of business hours.

Pretty sure everyone will agree that the next logical location would be Phoenix.  Am I right?

Most related complaints I got at DConf were about off-topic posts. -- Andrei

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!

Don't try this at home kids, several mathematicians died during the making of that equation.

I enjoyed watching remotely, some live, some from the archives. Live stream had some hickups, so when I started hampering I'd go do something else and rewatch the talk on the archive.

As for location: I attended CodeConf Hong Kong last November, hosted at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. It was a great venue and they're very open to hosting similar events! Show Asia some love! I'll chase down the responsible people.

I like the idea of alternating between Europe and the US. I'd vote for somewhere on the east coast. Or Europe, since that's easier for me.
