Gary I can assure you this is not the case here. I am pretty involved in this now and we are organising out own presenters and everything.

If you want a roadshow that you just turn up to don't call is CFcamp as in reality you are not holding a "camp" event. Presently it "appears" that this is building to be a pueudo-roadshow. that people are called a cfcamp aka coldfusion barcamp. Having been involved with barcamps in the past, this is NOT the way to do it in terms of letting the bigger boys in the arena dominate. You can have Adobe coming along, they can present. But if you do it as a tradition camp unconference you have to remember its about. no egos. About each person doing a little bit and making the entire thing work. Adobe as as much right to be there as me or you. they are there as people not adobe reps. They may speak for Adobe, but only as much as anyone else can speak for their company/employer. But the idea is not to be all showy and keep the entire thing simple with the agenda decided on the day. It should be organised and presented by people locally. So any one can come along on equal standing. If they want to sponsor let them. If not thats good to. A "Camp" is the ultimate in lack of formal organisation. Great thing is they often really rock and work real real well. Trick is don't over organise it. You would also be blind to ignore Perth considering the activity of late in the Web Industry.
