There are *many* factors that are taken into account involving everything from Internet access, visa availability, cost and time of (average) travel for attendees, venue expenses, safety and much more. If you want to see what items are considers, look at the venue requirements RFC and if you want to see how the community gets involved in these discussions, look no further than the debate that erupted before our FIRST meeting in Singapore.
