Not necessarily. It depends on the financial situation of Canonical.

Why would that depend on Canonical?

If other communities (e.g. Debian, GNOME, KDE) can organize conferences, why wouldn't Ubuntu be able to regardless of Canonical's financial contributions.

All the other communities you mention are organic and supported by multiple vendors and managed by non-profit foundations. Ubuntu isn't and most of the cost of Ubuntu falls on Canonical.
