I never complain about visa sponsorship or money, this is the last
problem for me to consider.

If obtaining a visa were as easy as obtaining a sponsorship, I would
go as many conferences as I know. But the fact is there are already
too many hassles to obtain even _one_ visa, not to mention I need
to obtain _two_ visas to go to Canada (or Japan, Spain) and return
to US. I'd be very happy to attend it if it were held in US, but this never
happens.
