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.
