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.
