Talk:Wikimania 2009/Seattle
Venues edit
Antioch University Seattle is quite small. IIRC, they don't have lecture halls, since most of their classes are small and discussion based. I've been in a conference room that could sit 30 roundtable style. If we were spreading ourselves out around the city it could be a good place to grab a couple of rooms. I am closely related to a long time faculty member there which would probably help in getting use of it. There are hotels a couple of blocks away. It is located just a few blocks from the Pacific Science Center and the Recreational Equipment Incorporated (REI) flagship store. It has a pretty good cafe on the ground floor and is across the street from Teatro ZinZanni, a 3 hour dining experience including a five course meal by Tom Douglas and cirque meets cabaret meets humor and physical comedy. If it were only going to be 40 people it would be a great spot. WAvegetarian 11:53, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
- awesome! just as a point of reference, wm '06 was just under 500 people :) But there's talk of having smaller preconferences that this could suit... phoebe 05:13, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Unlikely to happen edit
This is very unlikely to happen for '09, at least under my guidance... if anyone else wants to take it on let me know! I took it off the bids page for now; please feel free to revive. -- phoebe 21:55, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
