Also, about what Dalton said above, about hiring a single event planner/manager in the chapter, I think it's still far from being able to manage a Wikimania style event professionally. Unless they are

with International event planning, its still going to be a very large
task
for any single chapter.
It's a large task for a single chapter to plan Wikimania with the help of a paid event professional? Our Wikimanias have been planned by a lot less -- usually just a group of hard-working Wikimedians, some with the help of a chapter, some not. :-)
Allow me to reiterate, I meant its a demanding task for any group, let alone an individual planner. :-)
Our Wikimanias have also been getting larger and more complicated, I think thats one of the central issues. I only suggested, maybe its time to consider outside/professional help?
