nìtxan to everyone who took part in the two surveys for the AvatarMeet
events in 2018. There have been some interesting results, with
each survey having a similar number of responses. Below are the
overviews, followed by a more in depth look at the results.
Results overview:
AvatarMeet - Europe
The chosen location, by just one vote is Cologne.
Most people said they would still attend even if it was not in the
first choice location. There was a close preference between 4 days
and 6 days for the duration of the meet up with potential attendees
willing to spend a little more, depending on the programme of events.
Staying in a hotel is the preferred accommodation.
AvatarMeet - North America
The chosen location, by two votes is Vancouver.
Most people said they were undecided on attending if it was not in the
first choice location. There was a preference for the meet up to
be 3 days, with 4 days coming second. Most attendees didn't want
the cost to exceed $100 per day, with an equal amount saying it depended
on the programme of events. There was a strong preference for
hotel accommodation, but also for a pre-meet camping activity.

Next Steps.
There are two
planning teams; one for each meet up. Obviously the North American
meet up is fast approaching for this summer, with the meet up in
Germany occurring in the fall, when Cirque du Soleil will be visiting
Cologne. Now the hard work begins in planning to make them the
best they can be. In the meantime, if you have any questions or
queries, please don't hesitate to get in touch!
