Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks, sounds good. Given that my text also refers to the "internationale Ausrichtung " of the conference etc. would international also fit in to überregional, or is that stretching it a bit? Isn't it just one of those words you love to hate?

agree  Derek Gill Franßen: ...if it does, in fact, include the whole nation and is confined to just that nation; if not, then the asker might opt to use "supra-regional."
