Let’s make NixCon 2024 together!
We hope you’re as excited as we are about the prospect of NixCon 2024. It’s time to start the hunt for the perfect venue, and we need your help to make it an exceptional experience. Our goal is to find a venue that can accommodate between 250 and 400 participants, offers multiple tracks, including a hallway track, and is easily accessible by low-carbon transportation options for our European friends.
Why Finding the Right Venue Matters
The venue is a crucial component of NixCon, setting the stage for learning, collaboration, and networking. We want to make sure it aligns with our values, provides a comfortable and inspiring environment, and supports our commitment to sustainability.
Key Venue Requirements:
-
Capacity: We need a space that can comfortably host between 250 and 400 attendees, ensuring everyone can participate and engage.
-
Multiple Tracks: To offer a diverse range of talks and workshops, we’re looking for a venue that can accommodate multiple concurrent tracks, at least 2 in addition to the hallway track.
-
Hallway Track: The hallway track is where some of the most valuable conversations and connections happen. We want space for informal discussions and networking.
-
Accessibility: Given our commitment to sustainability, we aim to choose a location that’s easily reachable via low-carbon transportation options, particularly for our European community members.
How You Can Help
