Folks,
I just went to the website to at least grab a room for the time being.
I was disappointed to learn that reservations are non cancellable
and non refundable!
Maybe you missed this message from Ray Pelletier :

The venue will be the beautiful Citywest Hotel, "Ireland’s premier
Conference, Leisure & Golf Resort and one of Europe’s most popular
International Conference destinations. The four star Citywest Hotel
is only 20km from Dublin airport and 15km from Dublin City Centre."

Excuse me, but isn't this in the boonies way outside town? Are we
going to be stuck in a $200 a night hotel with no reasonable
alternative accommodations eating vastly overpriced hotel food and
facing a one-hour commute to anywhere else?
We should know by now that isolated resorts ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE as
meeting locations. Even if they're vaguely close to cool places like
Dublin.
It's not too late. Please cancel the meeting now. Even if it costs a
bunch of money and means we have to skip that meeting date.
Yes, I'm serious.
And no, I don't play golf, which appears to be the entire focus of
this sort of location.
