I think you're being a bit unfair. BS conference announcements come out of every continent. Maybe this was one of those. (Pay us $500 and we'll include your piece in some publication no one will care about.. that latter part is not in the announcement.)
Of course, perhaps this was one of the legit ones, in which case perhaps it really wasn't detailed enough, but while I've noticed all sorts of continental divides when it comes to academic affairs, this isn't one of them.
