To clarify, this is speculation, neither the articles nor the companies have said anything of this sort.
RedHat have moved their conferences to Florida, so I highly doubt cost is a big reason. Florida itself is much cheaper, but a decent chunk of RedHat employees live in Cali, so flying them across the continent is not that much cheaper.
EDIT: I was wrong, RedHat is mostly east coast, I'm sorry.
- jboy55 3y agoHasn't RedHat been headquartered in Raleigh since its inception? I knew a few people who moved out there for RedHat from the Bay Area.
- AlbertCory 3y agoDenial. No one's going to be honest about not having events there.
- benatkin 3y agoNot denial from me, I was thinking of how the city might be trying to make it so people can get there more comfortably, which includes less chance of experiencing some of SF's problems. I don't think it's a very good plan because it's expensive and far into the future, but I think it's a part of the misguided approach the city is taking.
- AlbertCory 3y agoI've actually walked from the CalTrain station to Moscone. It's not all that far. (of course, your hotel is probably farther.)
- benatkin 3y agoSo have I, haha. Except I've never been to Moscone. Just past it, dozens of times. I like Chaat Corner. That's more of a landmark for me than Moscone. Edit: wow, I've heard your voice before. You did an interview w/ Nassim Nicholas Taleb that I watched.
- AlbertCory 3y agoI hosted him. It wasn't an interview; in fact, he's the only person I hosted where I showed him the intro beforehand (which was his own writing)! Didn't want to mess around with this guy /s
- benatkin 3y agoHaha, cool. I would like to meet him one day. And I have some more Google Author Talks to watch.
- mjg59 3y agoRed Hat are headquartered in North Carolina, with the engineering HQ in Massachusetts. There's way more workers on the east coast than the west.
