I'll try, assuming I get an invite.

To be fair, I somewhat understand the reasoning here - my company
undertakes workshops nationally on small business matters, and frankly
it's work getting people to attend anywhere. The next ones we're doing
are in London, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast. It costs more money to do
workshops in places where it's harder to get an audience, although
usually you can make the case that you have to do one in each of the
nations. It is harder to make the case for the regions: you spend more
money but get fewer delegates.

It is definitely a shame, though - our workshops are often quite
London-centric, and we're based in Derbyshire :/

Cheers,

Alex.
