CFAR folk, please consider/research NYC as a location.
Logistics might be different of course, but there is a lot of people here who wouldn’t have to travel or need sleeping arrangements, lowering the total time+money cost for them without taking away CFAR revenue (since they are not a hotel/travel agency).
Also, these workshops are entrepreneur-oriented and there is an active and geographically concentrated start-up scene here, in which I’m somewhat active and would be happy to help with promotion and maybe some of the logistics.
We really are considering it. Some much more key things have emerged that will keep our focus mostly in the Bay area for the next six or so months, but New York City is definitely on the table for a CFAR event this year. No promises, of course, but we very much care about the LW community and know that there’s a rather huge core of it in NYC.
Better yet, could you email me? I’d love to talk about this, but I find I check Less Wrong infrequently enough that PMs here are not a reliable way for me to keep up with communications.
My email is valentine at appliedrationality dot org.

Without making concrete plans, I’d like to offer some ideas off-line, PM me?
