It's been tried from time to time. The problem you hit is that most people
don't have time to attend events that tend to take place when people are at
work and even those that are around at the relevant times to run into
travel issues.

I was stuck by the positive response to the
"Wikiepdia
representative", not least engendered by his use of a branded
microphone windshield (see third picture in the above post) [*].
I'll note that when I tweeted/Facebooked that post, a few people's
attention was caught by the idea of becoming an accredited Wikipedia
representative. Brian McNeil outlined how to become an accredited
Wikinews reporter, though I'm not sure what accreditation Albin was
using.
So, something like this - even a per-event accreditation - would be
very useful in gathering content and spreading the mission.
