In reply to jb510.

WCUS is going to move every 2 years.

Having it the same place two years in a row allows us to keep logistics a set variable and really focus on the rest of the event in the second year. I also want to use it to facilitate experience transfer: We’ll choose the 2017 + 2018 host city in between the first and second event, so that team can volunteer on the ground the second year Philadelphia hosts it to learn from their experience.

At least as I understood the primary issue with WCSF was it being in the same west coast city ever year

WCSF had to stay in SF - it would be kind of weird to have WordCamp San Francisco in Denver, or Tampa, right? :-p
