* WMF and WM-MX are grateful to Conaculta and the Biblioteca Vasconcelos for
their kind offer to host the conference at the magnificent Biblioteca.
However, due to logistical issues, we had to change the venue to the Hilton
Hotel La Reforma. We will continue to work with both Conaculta and the
Biblioteca Vasconcelos to leverage the experience and capacity of all
institutions to generate and disseminate content that guarantees free and open
knowledge to the whole of society.
The biggest logistical issue at the Biblioteca that wasn’t resolved at that time was
being able to guarantee that our connectivity requirements could be met.

WMF Conference Coordinator
At some point the venue changed to the Hilton Hotel.
I had been excited that there would be a conference in a library. We had a nice conference just the same.
Where can I find whatever published explanation and discussion there has been about the venue change?
Also- thanks to all volunteer organizers for presenting a great Mexico conference. Everyone who contributed should be very proud and I hope that no one criticizes anything that any of the volunteers did. The conference was great thanks to the volunteer organizers.
Thanks,
