There is a measure of self-selection. If you look at the attendence  
for meetings on other continents you'll see different figures.

But apart from that, this makes sense, but it's only part of the  
picture. Not all places on a given continent are equally reachable.  
For instance, it's easier to get to New York from many places in  
Europe than to many medium-sized cities elsewhere in Europe. And  
flying to San Diego takes just about twice as long as to New York for  
me. Then there is the whole visa issue.
