As an American citizen living in Cambodia -- book events here. It's cheaper and the conference facilities are getting better every year.
It's time for Americans to stop thinking all roads lead to them.
- virmundi 10y agoI'd like Americans to think all road lead to them because we offer the best destination. Presently we think all roads lead to the US because they do, but we've forgotten why. We think that is just the way of the world. We need to pursue the solid, innovative research in all fields and disseminate that accordingly.
- mjolk 10y agoYou're speaking as if getting to Cambodia is the same as a quick/cheap flight for most people, especially those who use English as a lingua franca. You're suggesting a very unrealistic alternative to NYC, Seattle, or Austin. Americans don't think that "all roads lead to them", but America is a hugely important country with a large number of its population working in the tech field and "convenient to get to" is impossible to underestimate as a priority when organizing a conference.
