Just like armchair politicians, they get everywhere they do.

Hey guys.
After having read through this topic and the one about the good and bad with the new hotel,
I have started to wonder about why convention centers seemingly hasn't been brought up much yet, least of all from the EF staff.
I know some of the reasons for it is that EF isn't big enough for it, but there are smaller convention centers, about the size of 2 indoor football fields.
I also know that the EF is build up like one big party "as mentioned by Cheetah in the EF13 dvd"
But as the demands for rooms get bigger, finding a hotel with fair prices becomes much much harder, especially finding ones that have functionally convention areas.
I guess what I'm trying to ask is.
Have the idea about going for a convention center in the future been up?
Because looking from the outside it just looks like the EF staff is fixated on the idea that is has to be a hotel.

Are you just counting on this post going unnoticed because everybody's away on family holiday, or have you really been NOT paying any attention at all in the past umpteen years? m(

Is there a specific reason that the post I see written by you feels like your slapping people in the face?
1. No writing a post hoping that it goes unnoticed is a rather stupid idea, as every member on this page will just check on what topics has gotten new posts in them when they return.
2. If there is a post where convention centers in the future has been noted or discussed. How about giving the short sum-ops of what happened.
Or the lazy approach give a link
Either way it would be more helpful, and it would make it more easy to take you "as a staff member" seriously
Sure getting a slap remark for a question is something i would expect on a image board.
But on a convention forum.. Not so much

Have you any idea of the economics involved behind such a move?
Conference rooms at Hotels tend to be (relatively) cheap if you guarantee a certain number of room nights. (In EF's case, that's the majority of the Hotel). A standalone conference centre is VERY expensive.
Not the same country, admittedly, but the ExCeL Centre in London quoted a rate of £16100 (around €18950) per day, exclusive of tax, for the use of their Conference Centre (capacity 1100) a couple of years ago.
Cheers,
Southie
