How is the BJC organised?

Can I stand up at a business meeting with my proposal?

Of course you can. There are some things you can do to make people more likely to vote for you:

• If you have a site in mind and have a provisional agreement with the owners,
• If you have a solid team who can stand up with you,
• If you've been involved with previous BJCs. Even if you haven't done this before, you can always volunteer now!
• If you've organised a successful one-day convention before,
• If you've been able to chat with lots of people during the convention and convince them that your plan is a really great idea.
• If you're the only team to stand up and offer to run the next BJC.

Read Do you have what it takes? to get an idea of whether a BJC is a commitment that you can realistically take on.

Why is the BJC always so far away from my town? Can we have a nearer BJC please?

It's far away from your town because nobody who lives near you has made a proposal. If you'd like to see a nearer BJC, you need to convince somebody near you to run one, or else stand up and do it yourself.
