[tantek] that last IWC LA is still very much "fresh" in my memory because of what happened two days later. Interestingly enough, IWC Berlin 2024 is tentatively scheduled for the weekend *after* next year's US Presidential election, perhaps a good bracketing moment of sorts

#
[chrisaldrich] [tantek], the Pivotal connection was Shaners. I don't know anyone there.
#
[chrisaldrich] I might have a connection to push that could get us space at the Los Angeles Athletic Club in downtown LA: https://laac.com/
#
[chrisaldrich] It could also come with reduced hotel accommodations there as well for people who want to stay. Lots of food in the neighborhood as well as entertainment options.
#
GWG [chrisaldrich]: If you think it would work.
#
[chrisaldrich] $150/night for nice DTLA hotel rooms is a "get" these days...
#
[chrisaldrich] I haven't seen him in person lately, but we could also check in with ScottGruber (http://scottgruber.me) who's been to IWC events in the past. He was at UCLA and might be able to swing some space there?
#
GWG [chrisaldrich]: Are you interested in attending?
#
[chrisaldrich] I'm all in.... and have half a page of notes on it in the last 10 minutes.
#
GWG I can try to help from here. But I know nothing about the land
#
[KevinMarks] My son works at Riot Games, they may have some suitable places, but they're not that web adjacent
#
GWG [KevinMarks]: But would they welcome us?
#
[KevinMarks] I can ask him.
#
gRegor cleverdevil is in Palm Springs now but I recall he had some LA connections, maybe it was Dreamhost?

#
[chrisaldrich] Yes, it was Dreamhost, but I'm not sure if they're still at the Aon Center on Wilshire. It's been a few years...

#
[tantek] Thanks for checking [cleverdevil]. I expect many in our industry have "gone fully remote" and thus there's a lot less surplus weekend office space than there used to be.
#
[tantek] at least among folks in our circles
