Why do the big conferences always have to be in countries that has strict visa regulations and do not let people from under represented communities. Why can't they be organized in Africa or Asia ? Powerful passports can easily come here rather than the other way around.

Talk is good, we need realistic solutions though! The officials can easily choose the country that provides much easier visa process. East EU, Middle East, Africans countries, to name a few. It's so clear to me that North America and west EU are the worst options!
