@hudsonjameson and @NTmoney discuss Devcon's US immigration challenges

Visa issues and safety aside, Devcon is also targetting communities that are developing their Eth culture and are accessible price wise for most devs internationally.

The US is significantly more expensive than Istanbul or Bangkok, and because of that I meet that could never afford a week in NYC or California.

Agreed. Plus I'm not sure whether there'd anyways be much of a benefit from having a Devcon there. E.g. ETHDenver is a really large event that is already happening annually. Isn't a huge part of the Ethereum community going to Denver every year already?
