Then you've probably learnt more than you will at a DDS.

As has been mentioned before, zhvill is your most local and cheapest option, though its not huge so if your expecting more than a couple hundred its not gonna be big enough

I don't think people are being realistic about crowd expectations for a Jerusalem seminar. since when are there 500-600 Israeli DDF'ers? Has any one noticed how slow traffic is on DDF on Motzei Shabbos?
It makes a lot more sense to book the big hall at Zvill which can hold up to 300-350 people and work with that.
I would arrange it if Dan wants but I dont have a Tzdaka organization or Shul :D

Past DDF DO's have shown that people are so eager to come, besides a select few (who are the advanced members for which the seminar will be less focused).

I don't believe you will reach 100, or even close to 100*.

I don't want to sound pessimistic, nor would I want someone laying out for a place, and get stuck with it.

*unless getting paid for it.

PS: seminar might sound different, as in more useful than a DO, but at a DO shticks were also given out albeit less than I suppose a seminar.
Both made the same mistake.  DDF isn't the target market.

See Israel: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/dansdeals.com#trafficstats
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Most people at the DDS are not DDF'ers. They heard of DD & they want to learn a few tricks.

I am. I live here. These stupid ppl will find any excuse to riot just because they have no better way to burn time. Not making it in zvill because there might be riots sounds ridiculous IMHO.
