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.
