Simple solution. Only allow people to attend if they take a train or bus
to the conference. Enforce this by including tickets for train or bus
(your choice) when registering to attend a conference. It makes
trans-continental conferences impossible (although you might add an
ocean liner option) but that is not necessarily a bad thing.  What is
wrong with have several different continental chapters of the IETF,
given that all decisionmaking is supposed to be done online, not in
meetings?

P.S. if you look at a map of Europe, Prague is rather centrally located
an makes an ideal location for a "green" conference like this.
