Re: accommodation, yes. Cape Town, and the wider region, is a very popular tourism, and vacation student or whatever they call the influx of young ideologues every summer, location.
We have a whole range of hotels, backpackers, and airbnb, and I'm sure I'm not even aware of the half of it.
What I want to test with this is to see if there are existing partnerships which would make things easier for us.
UCT also have residences distributed widely, due to space constraints on or close to their main campus (Cape Town is squeezed between a mountain and two oceans), which means we may be able to use their accommodations for a few of the options. There are also other educational institutions that we could consider in terms of accommodations.
Then, regardless of all that, our exchange rate makes most hotels a bit cheaper than what would be expected...

s/venues/plenary rooms/ since you are talking about "the venue" in
general already?

I doubt this many will be sitting down at once at a table with chair
and plugpoint.

2–3 meals a day, depends on the accomodation.
Are there youth hostels of this size around? Are hotels generally
affordable?
