I get the sense that the US and Germany have the largest
amount of heavy D users, which is why all the DConfs so far
have been held in those two countries. Three of the five
largest D Meetup groups are in those countries:

However, Ali notes significant interest in his D book in
China and Russia (also see updated stats later in that
thread):
https://forum.dlang.org/post/oarr8l$19rh$1...@digitalmars.com
Japan may be in third place for heavy users, as Kenji Hara
and a few others are significant contributors, and they
certainly tweet about dlang:

It may be a good forward-looking move to hold one of the next
two or three DConfs in Japan or Hong Kong, perhaps working
with Laeeth and the Hong Kong Meetup group.
Thanks for sharing these info!
Maybe China is also a good candidate:), as we know that
Chinese companies like
PuTao(http://www.huntframework.com/) is using D for their
production environment and has been contributed to many D open
source projects.
I coincidentally just read this blog post, that summarizes a
lot of my thoughts against conferences and meetups:

Maybe a good first step would be a mostly online DConf geared
towards Asian timezones? I could help out with arranging those
online talks.
It seems that people in different countries of Asia may live in
different timezone.
