I am in Europe, I am not asking for myself. I won't attend. I just see the trend, less and less western people are around on Hive, and I also see the main direction now is trying to get new users from less developed areas, the very little ads, marketing I see, all in those areas (africa, asia, s-america), so why don't you take it there?
probably - except travel cost from europe, north am - it's a lot cheaper, too and can reach a lot more people, who are in the new target group.
