Hello. We did the FOCAL Finals in MK last year and I think it went very well. There's been some discussion behind the scenes about what might be the best venue for the FOCAL Finals going forwards. It has previously been in Birmingham/West Midlands, and given the popularity of some of our northern events in past years a big well-connected northern city like Manchester could be viable.

So I thought I'd try and gauge interest with a quick poll here. Which of the three locations would you consider attending out of Brum, MK, and Manc? You can choose as many or as few options as you like.

I hope you don’t mind me sticking my oar in but it would probably be a shrewd move not to go to the same place twice in one year* especially if the regular event is in the latter half of the year.

With that in mind I’d be wary of going to Manchester in 2023, although it’s a good suggestion in isolation.

*(Lincoln Hangover notwithstanding and you could probably make a case for two London events)
