for the record, we have quite a few potential sponsors outside the US. We
are considering future meetings in London and Tokyo, and have been offered
sites in Geneva, Naples, Beijing, and other places. What tends to be
interesting to find is the US sponsors, not the non-US ones.

Bottom line: go if you can and wish to, don't whine if you can't or won't.
And please quit with the "conspiracy theories" about US-centricity.

Agreed. It is readily argued that there is strong US involvement. Going
from there to some of the places this thread has taken it is quite a leap.
