I love CAPtober fest idea. Germany is probably no m,ore costly then comparable European settings. I also like Dubrovnik as its stunning to look at. We could do Bruge (Belgium) just saw the movie and love the mid evil city charm. There are so many great idea out there and fortunately we have enough time to kick it around befor making a final decision.
Criteria remains:
1. Safe and Clean European City
2. Easily accessible with reasonable airfare to and from.
3. Fun location and city ammenities like great restaurants and night clubs.
4. Competitively priced so we can enjoy bigger and more elaborate events and parties.
5. Availability of conference facilites large enough to accomodate at least 2000 people. (Single floor please)
6. Favorable weather. I dont want cold and rainy venue.
