It works out roughly the same traveling in either direction. Folks on this
side of the Atlantic will need a Saturday night stay going to Europe (so
extra travel time) just as folks coming here from there will. Martin will
be extra-jetlagged going there. The local organizer makes arrangements for
the venue and accommodations, sorts out meals, (maybe) handles some
transportation, or at least gives advice on getting there and getting to
the venue. It isn't all that hard—it just means being organized and making
sure the details are covered (e.g. getting a meeting room with a projector,
wifi, and sufficient power outlets).

that hosting and serving as chair will be a pain, but if it means not
getting on yet another plane, I’m totally willing to do it:-). Hosting
isn’t*that* much of a pain. My travel schedule out through August is
getting close to my saturation point. If travel is the issue and more people have issues to get to the US than
the other way round I may ask whether we could host this. talking about the
amount of pain that is involved, what is actually involved? A room for ~10p
should be possible to get here at Austrian National Library. cheers,
