Yes. Basically: Wikimedians meeting each other in person is an
excellent way to generate unexpected good things happening. Wikimania
in particular gets the greatest variety of Wikimedians meeting and
generating unexpected good things. It seems in practice to be powerful
enough for people to keep wanting to put in the effort.
