Barring unforeseen circumstances, yes.

We are looking at a couple of companies and universities. (In all
likelihood the main event will take place in the US.)
By the way I should emphasize one possibly non-obvious aspect. Some
obvious candidates for hosting DConf 2014 are Sociomantic, Remedy, and
Facebook. The largest gains a corporate organizer may get from setting
up such an event (aside from the goodwill) come from the recruiting
angle: Don mentioned Sociomantic is hiring, I have no doubts Remedy
would be glad to get some talent (http://remedygames.com/recruit/), and
I've also mentioned to all at the conference that Facebook is hiring too.
If any participant is considering changing jobs, I compel you to follow
up with these companies and mention that DConf 2013 gave you the
impetus. I don't have any official statement on this, but the word on
the street is that one engineering hire from DConf 2013 would virtually
guarantee that Facebook will offer to host next year's edition.
