Sorry I dropped my phone on the keyboard and it sent out too soon. I don't mean to make it sound impossible, but there is a strong logic to having one conference where most people can go. I would say Brazil mainly because it looks like the center of the world according to my map. :). On the other hand strengthening other conferences could be done, but they would really need to have a specific focus and making sure that the people for that focus were going to be there en-mass. -- Stephen J Smoogen.
