I can also recommend NZGDC (New Zealand) and GCAP (Australia), which are both in October this year. They often support established, international speakers with travel and costs for keynotes and the like.
Happy to make any introductions I can if either are of interest.

I adore Reboot Blue, though I've read it isn't happening this year, or at least that it seems uncertain if it will.
Where else can you do biz on banana lounges with Croatian beer in hand by the Adriatic?
Definitely a decent international crowd there and worthwhile for speakers!
