My main interest is in knowing which confs. are industry-friendlier, and if regional factors have any influence. If the latter is true, then I would rather submit somewhere here than in a conf. that takes place farther away. Since we are speaking of industrial confs., let us assume that silicon is always required.

it depends also on where is "here". If you work for a large company with a long tradition of publishing (and sponsoring university design teams) then it is easier to get your paper published.
Geo-locating the submission close to the company headquarters generally helps, I believe.
Sorry to ask, but why do you care ? Are you doing also a PhD ?
I usually don't bother to try to publish, just getting "clearance" from all the stakeholders for submission is already a lot of extra work (unpaid and usually seen as slightly dangerous exposure).
