Hi,

I've been looking to change the event location. The date is getting
close but I think it's worth it. The Vienna venue costs 60-80k EUR and
if I can have even a fraction of that, I can do much more like invest
in real infrastructure, keep ticket prices down and get more cooler
speakers on board.

Here in Barcelona, there is a good network of people that will help
with organising this conference providing catering and all the
logistics for us.

We've found a really awesome location, and I'm awaiting confirmation
of the place:

It's an abandoned factory complex that looks like a mini-city. We
could build a proper Bitcoin marketplace there the month beforehand,
getting in local merchants from this Catalan cooperative to offer a
variety of good and services in Bitcoin.

Because of the place, and availability of locations, we could do a
week long event focused on Bitcoin / social change with a week long
hackathon. Nearby is a techno-industrial colony where different groups
and startups are working on Bitcoin project (the Bitcoin Magazine crew
is there, and various friends from London and around europe).
