But remember nearly everyone who does not live in the Bay Area would have to travel a shorter distance. What about Denver, which is low-cost location and also low-cost flights?
One thing I noticed while trying to find a city for a meeting of a group of people scattered across the US and UK: smaller cities are more expensive and more time-consuming to fly to from outside the country. For example, there are no nonstop flights from Berlin to Denver. Even places that are airport hubs within the US, like Atlanta, are not particularly good destinations if you’re coming internationally.
It’s much easier to find cheap, nonstop flights between major cities. Not that this is a dealbreaker, but it is something we consider.

Boston does pretty well on the metrics of cost-to-fly and ease-of-flying from various places in the US and Europe.
