AFAIK, it's down to cost. We need somewhere where a) the venue is
affordable and b) flights are cheap (the benchline is round-trip from
BOS, RDU, BOM, CDG, and PRG).

Based on experience in Rochester, it's also ideal if the venue _is_ the
hotel. (As I understand it, in that case, the venue was actually
_included_ when we booked enough rooms; I don't know if that can be
duplicated in Europe.)
