And you can't see any problem with that at all?

 

[alexbruso]

Yes have it in NY!

 

[EnterPseudonym]

If your thinking of the US, i suggest somewhere in the middle of the country.
but thats just me.

Dont forget the amazing land of canada. How about in toronto. Did you not see all the police in riot gear protecting the world leaders maybe we can have them protect all the amazing cubers.

Why do I get the feeling that none of what we're saying here even matters...

All I'm going to say is (same thing I said in the US Nationals thread), have it somewhere international flights are cheap/plentiful to. Read: some sort of major hub please.
E.g.:
Africa:
<not suggesting any because there....aren't very many cubers in Africa?>

Asia:
- Beijing
- Shanghai
- Hong Kong
- Seoul
- Tokyo
- Osaka
- Delhi
- Mumbai
- Singapore

Europe:
- Vienna
- Paris
- Berlin
- Frankfurt
- Athens
- Amsterdam
- Moscow
- Madrid
- London

Americas
- Phoenix
- San Francisco
- Los Angeles
- Denver
- Miami
- Orlando
- Atlanta
- Chicago
- Washington D.C.
- Boston
- Las Vegas
- New York City
- Dallas/Fort Worth
- Vancouver
- Toronto
- Quebec
- Mexico City

Oceania: <TOO EXPENSIVE FOR MOST OF THE WORLD TO FLY TO>
- Melbourne
- Sydney

Pick Las Vegas if we want to see how well the world's top cubers do when....distracted.


...Except most are underage. Hmmm...

 

[M4rQu5]

How about Finland?

 

[Carrot]

I vote for Atlantis! =D

OWOW WHERE DO YOU LIVE.

 

[hyunchoi98]

Any word on the location? (stanford please)

2003: Cananda (Ontario)
2005: USA (Florida)
2007: Europe (Hungary)
2009: Europe (Germany)

Probably not Europe or North America. Makes sense to make it somewhere in Asia. Japan, Hong Kong, or Seoul?

SEOUL FTW!!!
Not because of the fact i live in Seoul.
I can't go anyway.

Incheon International Airport (airport 1hr from seoul because there is no airport in seoul) IS a major hub.
I don't know if the airplane fees are cheap though.

(NOT flaming on Austrailia and NZ) Australia and New Zealand is really far away for many cubers out there.
Very many cubers are in North America and some are in Europe. Planes to the Oceania region is really expensive
to the rest of the world, even to Korea, where i live.

I think the odds are on that the next world championship will be in Asia. The first ever Asian open was held in Bangkok recently, and I would have to strongly suggest this as the venue. It was extremely well organised and run. The venue was superb and could easily cope with the numbers that a world championship would bring. I would also like to strongly suggest the dates of 1st and 2nd of October 2011 for purely selfish reasons as that is right in the middle of school holidays for us.

Here is a summary of where it's been btw:

1982 Hungary
2003 Canada
2005 USA
2007 Hungary
2009 Germany

 

[Dene]

Unfortunately it all depends on the sponsors and from what I hear they simply don't want it in Asia.
