Below there is an excerpt from one of the organizers of Texas Linux Fest.
They are explicitly interested in Wikimedia participants / speakers. If you
have a proposal for a session, please consider submitting it. Also remember
that we have
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:TPS for sponsoring
travel costs in this type of situations. All the better if you are already
in North America. :)

Nate Willis here; amongst my other project pastimes, I'm one of the
organizers
of Texas Linux Fest, which is the leading community Linux-and-FOSS
conference for Texas and the surrounding region.
Our event is July 8th and 9th this year, in downtown Austin, TX. We'd
really love it if folks from the WikiMedia project & surrounding community
can be
there—be they local or from out of town.
I especially wanted to draw your attention to our call for
participation. We're intent on attracting a wide variety of speakers
representing open source and free software, both users and developers,
from all corners. The details are here:
http://2016.texaslinuxfest.org/call-for-papers
and the deadline is approaching.
Please consider submitting a talk proposal yourself, and we would doubly
love it if
you could help us spread the word by sharing the CFP with others in the
community!
If you have any questions, or if you want to know more about Texas
Linux Fest this year or in general, please get in touch!
Thanks, from me and on behalf of the entire TXLF 2016 team,
Nate
