Also, about what Dalton said above, about hiring a single event planner/manager in the chapter, I think it's still far from being able to manage a Wikimania style event professionally. Unless they are experienced with International event planning, its still going to be a very large task for any single chapter.
A professional working full-time would be equivalent to several amatuers working in their spare time. There would still be a need for a team of volunteers, but they could concentrate on things like the programme, while the event manager does a lot of the routine stuff.
