avroair Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 We are now just over 2 months away from the first Geocoinfest in Europe: GCF EU Cologne And it is time to start thinking about where the event should move to in 2012? If you want to host it, put together a team, a plan and a vision and then a bid. Some things people need to think about: * this event(s) take time to pull together, at least 7 months * the Geocoinfest would be held in late summer * the city needs to have an airport that is generally accessible * city needs to have nearby attractions rather than just the coins * there needs to be ample hotels in the area * we are expecting over 2,000 at GCF Cologne so the actual event site needs to hold at least that many * there needs to be 2 (preferably 3) local coin coordinators, we need coin people, not just general cachers * vendors are not allowed to bid, this is a conflict of interest * need to work within a team environment Bids are due July 20th, 2011 Previous organizers of Geocoinfests will receive each bid and vote on their merits under 10 criteria. There will be two finalists. This will be finished by August 6th. The winning bid will be annouced at Geocoinfest 2011 in Cologne. I have a sheet of what to expect if anyone is interested, I also have the bid proposal from Cologne to help. These are available June 21st. Quote Link to comment
