As Wikimania is currently planned to have around 500 attendees, it
would be massive overkill to plan the location as if everyone
interested could attend if only it was within X km.


Aphaia suggests a US national conference. This still makes good sense.
We have not heard much about the Conference of the Americas for a
while... is it still happening?
Is it viable for the Toronto bid to be cannibalised a bit and turned
into a north America-focused event?

Given that our community is so large a single international event
every year cannot possibly hope to please even a majority of people.
Having regular regional events (such as continent or country based
events) makes sense to me.
