If you're interested in establishing a more regular North American or Europe-wide conference the for years when we don't have Wikimania in the area, then great! We can certainly use more local organization of this sort in the US, and at the Europe-wide level in addition to the numerous country-wide groups there.

Well that would be nice but would WMF pay for all these conferences? Who would organize them other than one person? This isn't a task for one or two people much less someone with no experience in doing so.
Last I heard the "Conference of The America's" is not happening. Why? Not too sure why but if I cannot afford a trip to Buenos Aires or Egypt I certainly cannot afford to make my own conference.
