I just wanted to chime in to say that we will announce the Zcon5 venue once we sign the contract with the venue early 2024. There are a lot of great ideas in this thread and I think you will all be pleased with the 2024 destination (hint: it is not in the US). Organizing Zcon is a (very time intensive) labor of love (as any event is, even small ones) and we will continue to do our best with our limited resources . Once registration opens, will also be mobilizing all of you to do outreach to different communities so we have the right people in the room(s). Stay tuned for our Zcon5 announcement!
