Eastercon - Two-year Bidding

Two-year Bidding

Some people claim there is little need to actually have a two-year lead time as the convention can be organised in less than a year. Others point out it is hard enough finding venues with more than two years to go, so potentially losing some of those makes it even more difficult. It also means only one year to get people to join, so the committee can't predict the number of members (and hence their budget). This is a contentious issue and a frequent subject for debate.
