If you want to stay at the Aspen Meadows
Wouldn't it be better to change the location, so that people who couldn't come last time because it was very far could come this time? For example, have the conference in Europe or something.
That also makes it very far for people who did come last time :)
Seriously, there are a lot of factors that go into the selection of a location for a conference like this. The committee did consider other locations for this year's BoostCon (and will consider other locations for future conferences), but decided to stay in Aspen now that the airport is open.
Another factor is the setting at the Aspen Center for Physics. Compared to a typical conference location at an urban hotel, the location is so much better that the committee felt any travel inconvenience was well worth it. --Beman
