Well i contacted 2 places in cardiff, the first one was the wales millenium centre, they
didn't really have the ability to hold what we would like to hold which in some
respects was a shame as I would have considered it for the future. I contacted cardiff
university and mentioned earlier. Im going to try and get in touch with cardiff
international arena in the near future to see whether they have the capabilities of
hosting the type of conference we are after. Although im not looking to push a bid this
year. In the unfortunate event that uk doesnt get 2010, i would like to attempt one for
cardiff in the future but anyway back to the topic at hand. I think getting in touch with
technology companies would be a useful step to get donations even if they are in the form
of equipment. Which they may even prefer.
