Planning for IndieWebCamp Düsseldorf 2024.

Organizers:

• Marc Thiele — cross-promotion with btconf, ticketing
• Joschi Kuphal — Saturday venue
• Tantek Çelik - wiki editing, wrangling more co-organizers, working with Joschi Kuphal and Marc Thiele to figure out details to make an IWC happen! Sunday venue search
• David Shanske Attending, and happy to help in any way
• ...

Venue:

• Saturday May 11: The City Library
• Sunday May 12: TBD — looking for local suggestions!

Sunday venue ideas?

• ...
• ...
• moderate chance fallback: lobbycon at the Holiday Inn (where most of the IWC organizers are staying)
  • may require someone who is staying there: Tantek Çelik, David Shanske, capjamesg
  • pros:
    • outlets / desks
    • (likely?) lobby wifi
  • cons:
    • is "in public"
    • no exclusive use/guarantee of the space - expect randoms to show up and use any available space
    • may get kicked out by the hotel
  • needs:
    • would need a way to project (micro/picoprojector?) for demos session
    • would need to set expectations of participants ordering at least a drink and/or snack from the hotel (perhaps at some frequency? like every 2 hours?) because the room in the middle of the hotel lobby and is serviced by the bar staff

Photos of Holiday Inn lobby:

• 

Not this year (but has worked in past, maybe in future)

• sipgate — will they be open to hosting an event for outsiders?
• ...
