Many national events are held in the Midwest because it's so cheap to organize
accomodations.  I'll be at a ten day event with >200 people in April in
Columbus and our rooms are $79 per night.  That beats the snot out of $150.

I'd love to see an event in Chicago or St. Louis.  Those locations are so

for most people (in North America) to travel there.

But I guess the largest consideration is someone local to be the driving
force that makes it happen.
