I guess cost is always going to be an issue and conferences/symposiums are always, to a certain extent, a luxury for most of us. That aside, the hotel costs, from a UK perspective seem comparable so not too much of a strain. Location wise - perfect, unfortunately Russia was a bit too far for me to organise with work commitments. Im certainly going to try to make this one. Really looking forward to it.
Good luck with the organising
