Certainly in Perth's case, it was more like a very panicked week :)
We've been working on our bid for 6-8 months now, and the vast
majority of that time has been planning things that will affect the
conference itself, rather than just the bid.

That's not to say a pro-forma response is a bad idea - just adding a data point.
