Coventry? Fuck that. Travel in the UK is really expensive and thus it's better to do events centrally.

  Most people go to conference on their employers dime, and the travel cost for most companies is just going to be a rounding error.

  Really? The UK's centre of population [0] is apparently Appleby Parva in Leicestershire [1], which is less than 25 miles from Coventry [2].

    Hmm, well it's only a 3 hour train journey, perhaps there will be some advance fares available.

    Birmingham has good links. Not a beach in sight.

  Sorry Coventry isn't suitable. For reference where would be central/convenient for you? Disclosure: I'm a PyCon UK organizer.
  • antihero 14y ago
    Bit more South, near London, perhaps? Brighton also has an utterly thriving new-media scene.

      Brighton? That doesn't seem like an easier location for people generally across the UK.
