It's true that events *can* get whitelisted, but this is a very complex method. It relies on the organiser knowing the IP ranges in advance, and knowing who to contact at WMF - and on WMF having the time to deal with it. It would rapidly break down if we needed to use this method for every small training session. (I used to do two or three workshops a week...)

Events sometimes get whitelisted for account creation purposes: https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/throttle.php.txt The exceptions there there could be made to set $wgCaptchaWhitelistIP too.

There actually already is a whitelist ($wgCaptchaWhitelist in https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/CommonSettings.php.txt). Unfortunately, as far as I know, there's no on-wiki way to change it, but you could always compile a list of domains and submit it through Phabricator.
