I really don't understand or appreciate the "there are lots of other things to see in town too!" arguments. Fuck everything else in town, no one is going for a sightseeing expedition of a town, they're going to a convention/conference.
Well, people can do both, you know. Don't be so squared.
If I flew all the way from South Korea to go to a conference/convention, I'd be fucking pissed if it wasn't all-day.

Reasonings in the OP make sense.
However:
- London has Heathrow. *blargh* *ptui* *eek* *gasp*
- If you wanna drink a beer or book a hotel, you'd better be... a brit, or rich.
I've been in Berlin several times for various conferences, and they were all a success and a pleasure to attend.
This is what is needed - a place where the trip to get there doesn't "punish" you and diverges you from the real aim.
+1 Berlin.

more friendly, more laid back, less crowded, affordable and spacious accommodation, plane connections slightly worse than in London, train connections a lot better.
Not that I don't like London, but it's not the best setting in the world for conferences.

Forget Berlin.

Is there new information about the conference, maybe an approximate date?
Yeah, we're going to make an announcement soon after we confirm the venue. We're shooting for either September or December.
Maybe we can witness the block 210.000 apocalypse live in December

I will very likely attend this conference, especially if it is in Berlin. Missed the last one but I won't miss this.

Wherever it is, keep in mind that Bitcoin Magazine/BitTalk.TV would like to be there to cover everything. Don't pick some place that I can't bring myself and my crew for under $20,000 and keep in mind that press doesn't usually pay for entry to places they are publicizing for free.
I vote Berlin because people follow Bitcoin and Bitcoin follows people so the choice should be made strictly on cost. This is not a trade show or exhibition like the one we're planning at the DCAO where people off the street will be going, so it doesn't really matter where it is.

Berlin! Berlin! Berlin!
You won't regret it. Berlin is a wonderful city! It is young and full of life and culture, and also history. And it is cheap. And it is not going to be on it's head and full of security theatre due to some sports event, which probably many Londoners would like to get away from as well.

I haven't done an official count, but it looks like there's more votes for Berlin than London…
from this thread (and my unofficial counting):Berlin: 24
London: 10
I would especially not go to London due to the Olympic games this year - everything will be much more expensive (Taxis ~20%, hotels 100-400% [source]).
Didnt even think about that point, Berlin even now more then ever!
