As I said - save the money from conference expenses to support people flying around the world. And again - I'm not saying ban local events completely! Just make them smaller and cheaper one day events - it's important to meet. Rotation would be more complicated as a majority of contributors are US based ones and I understand it (and that's why NA events are more valuable - not saying somehow magically better).
