Two more tidbits:
 - It's a huge aviation hub. There are direct flights from everywhere, similar to CDG, Heathrow, or Schiphol

The principle would be to go to aviation hubs so as to minimize the collective pain. Most people from the US going to Prague, would have a connection in Frankfurt, so a meeting in Frankfurt would reduce the amount of flights.
