The company I work hold last year an ETSI internal meeting about IMS in Brasília. It were a very interesting experience. The meeting were closed to ETSI members and some people invited. After the meeting, there were two days of an open event. It should be noticed that about 99.9% of the attendants came from Europe, with travelling costs covered by their companies. The Brazilian company organized the event and covered some local costs (like lunch/dinner/cocktail/event hostage). Probably, the major companies with worldwide presence will cover travelling costs, whatever place KS would be hold, since the local offices of those companies will have interests on holding the conference. Just my $2 cents.
