Taking off my cloudbees hat and putting on my old hat being based in Europe.
Getting approval to attend conferences abroad (outside Europe) for me was not always easy - as it involves large travel and time lost due to this. As such it was easier to go to a european conference. I also feel that yes you get more people in USA-CA but that this could just a critical mass and a direct result of its much easier to go to something local than it is to travel 9 hours around the globe. Do you have stats of where people came from in the last even - where they predominantly from the bay area? In the London event I met people that where very basic users of Jenkins (just starting) and it was easy for them to go to a local conference. Would these same users make the same investment to go somewhere accross the globe - I personally don't think so - which would be a big shame. The JAMs fill a gap - but I'm not sure that this gap is filled yet - or that it will be filled by next year - certainly there is nothing in the UK that I know of - and even then we would need something based in the north west as well as somewhere around London.
