Do people think it’s plausible that CEA (and affiliates) will run 100 x 30-person events per year in Oxford alone? Doing one every 3.5 days seems unlikely and I expect the real number to be much closer to 50 or less.
Edit: I actually realise it will have to be 50 x 30-person retreats, assuming each workshop/event/retreat lasts 2 days. So it would be 2 days per week for basically all 52 weeks, which I still think is on the high side.
Yeah, I think something around that number is pretty likely. As an example, we have a much smaller house that we rent near Berkeley that is useful for 10-15 person retreats, and we’ve had pretty close to 75% utilization with stuff that I think would have otherwise required renting an AirBnB (I think some fraction of those would have been fine with a smaller AirBnB, but would have required then setting up that space and dealing with a bunch of overhead).
So you think something roughly like a 2-day workshop every week of the year? I think that’s possible yeah but still not very likely (like 20% likelihood). Also you’re saying conference but these events are max 30 people so seem much more like workshops / events / retreats than a conference?
Do you have a sense for how many of these happen in the UK right now? I still think this is <50 per year and closer to 30. I also think it wouldn’t be worth it for groups north of (approx.) Newcastle due to travel times etc.

100 days worth seems pretty plausible, yeah. After all, you would basically push any UK conference here, right?
