==Location suggestions==
====Pros====
====Cons====
Since the second most popular destination was [[Berlin]] in the 2011 vote, the participants of the Magdeburg pre-meeting all agreed to suggest Berlin already as a destination. Here are the reasons for this proposal:
*I think that after going for three years to challenging destinations, most people will agree it'd be nice to try a central, easy and popular place in Europe.

*Is the point of hitchgathering still to popularize hitchhiking?
**(place your answer here)
*If so, should we aim to make a (much) larger , accessible (easy-to-reach) event?
**(place your answer here)
*If so, should we change the concept somehow?
*In Kara Dere the date for Hitchgathering 2012 main event was decided: 4 August 2012
**It was suggested that the main event would be a culmination point for a series of mini-meetings around Europe that could be well-prepared and organized during June and July prior to the main event. This would allow a bigger participation, more promotion, longer travels together and, of course, a wider reach.

===[[Berlin]], [[Germany]]===
*After four years of challenging destinations, it'd be nice to try a central, easy and popular place in Europe.
====Pros====
*A lot of hitchhikers nearby e.g. in [[France]], [[Netherlands]], [[Poland]] and - naturally - in [[Germany]] could form the basis for a VERY big main event. A central location like this would allow the national hitchhiking clubs to cooperate in creating the event.
====Cons====
=== Timeline ===
===Website===
===Discussion===
*A lot of energy is spent discussing the destination. Having the destination set more than one year in advance allows to concentrate on other issue, given the limited volunteer-hours we dispose of.
*In the previous installments, we only have a consensus on the destination a few month before the event, leading to many shortcomings in the organisation.
