I think they are becoming more regionalized in general, but you have to realize you guys are talking about a dwindling language so you can't note FoxPro conferences and extrapolate to tech conferences in general. FoxPro got on the boat with COBAL, Gandalf, and the remaining elves and sailed on, leaving Middle Earth in the hands of the next generation who are young, use Ruby or Python and NoSQL as a rule, and tend to participate in local user groups and attend conferences fiendishly. Personally, I can only do one conference a year at the most, and I've chosen PyCon. If I were still basing my bread and butter around FoxPro, OR if I had more time and available funds to attend every conference, I would definitely participate in Southwest Fox. I almost didn't hit send, because I'm not sure this contributes anything to the discussion.
