I was very impressed with the quality of the conference catering at the
World Trade Center when AUUG was last there. Sure, it isn't the flashest
food in the world, but it is incomparably better than the slop we got
in Darling Harbour.

I think that a venue away from the conference center will cause more
problems than we want to deal with. I also suspect that it will be
hard to better the World Trade Center when catering for a group of that
size.

Yes. We need appropriate air space set aside. Plus more balloons per table!
That way the guys from ANU won't have an excuse to get physical. :-)
