I somewhat misspoke. I'm not aware of a SF convention where no one was local to the area, but I am aware of major conventions where significant portions of the ConCom (convention committee) were from outside the area; Westercon and Worldcon have this occur at times. I suspect (read: hope) the foreign ConCom had local deputies, who were being trained up to be able to handle it on their own for future conventions. In this manner good venues with inexperienced locals could be utilized. In the case I'm sure about Westercon was in Reno, and significant portions of the ConCom were located in Portland.
