Most of us, thankfully, haven't had that experience.

For comparison, in Australia:

That doesn't mean holding a conference in Australia is a risk, but
holding one at the Lakemba Mosque, eg, might be; and people might want
to be aware if they're visiting Cronulla or Maroubra:

The terrorist link I was actually thinking of was that some relation of
the London terrorists from last year was reported to have frequented
that mosque -- as it happened I was riding the tube in London after
DebConf last year about five minutes before the second lot of idiots
made their aborted attempt to kill a bunch more people. It's not like
anywhere's particularly safe, or that having a few idiots in your midst
menas you're all idiots.
