By "people", you presumably mean the well-funded, frequent travelers who like to 
be entertained, as well as get work done.

Is that the population of attendees we want to have controlling venue choice?

As sampling methodology doesn't this, perhaps, leave out some other potentially 
useful attendees?

Note that other groups that meet regularly often choose a single venue and have 
no problem with that model.  We need to be careful about setting our priorities.
