It is a certainty that most Wikipedians will not make any conference anywhere at
any time.

This is the case of any conference or convention; each event will actually be
visited by only a small subset of the potential target audience. This will
include a higher proportion of people who are physically close to the event (for
whom travel is easier). For migratory events like Wikimania, this means each
event in the series will draw a demographically different population each time,
'stirring up the pot'.

I'm not sure why you think this is "too bad", can you explain?
