AIUI, this event will probably get (handwave) 90% of its attendees
from Perth, and 99% from within WA... Accomodation isn't a big deal
for a 2-day conference of this sort. If we're aiming even slightly
at the educational area, anywhere but the summer break is IMHO
better for grabbing people's attention.
