I live in Argentina, If I wanted to go to the DjangoCon in Portland, it would require a Bus to Buenos Aires, then take an international flight to a US mayor city and then another to reach Portland, overall I would be travelling more nearly an entire day to reach the conference.
New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Washington have direct flights from almost every country. I'm sure if the conference is place in a city with easy access it would have more people going.
