Last year's SotM was in Birmingham and the year before that was in Tokyo.
The distance from Tokyo to Birmingham is about 9,500 km. On the other hand,
the distance from Buenos Aires to New York is a comparable 8,500 km. So I
wouldn't say that having SotM be in New York after Buenos Aires is
relatively close. Also remember that the first 4 SotMs were all in Europe.
