Copenhagen would not be a bad place for such an event.

VSI European office is in Copenhagen.

Based on a very small sample then it looks to me like
the biggest VMS countries in Europe today are UK, France and
Sweden. Copenhagen is sort of in the middle between those
and the flights would be short.

There are direct flights between Boston and Copenhagen
so it is also relative easy to get people from Massachusetts
in.
