What you are proposing is very close to organising the LGM in Amsterdam. ;-) I mean, the main event itself! The only thing that is not in your proposal seems to be the covering of the travel costs. And for the sponsoring, we need a coordinated effort anyway. So you would not be left alone. Quite the opposite!
