Sure, if there are responsible people willing to organize and promote it. That takes a LOT of planning that has to be done on the ground wherever it would take place and $$$ to pay for venue etc. up front and be willing to take a possible loss.

Aware of the amount of work...

I'd be happy to assist in an endeavor like this on this side of the world. There's not much where I'm at so it might be a little more difficult to find a venue near me but it's easy to contribute financially and logistically from anywhere these days!
