Wildman, My post was intended for here, because I want to reach as big a crowd as possible.
While interesting and novel as hosting the event on the Jeremiah O'Brien, logistically it might not be feasable Most of the people who organize the convention in the Dulles area, live and work there. Plus one of the biggest decision factors is the proximity of Dulles International Airport to the hotels in the area. But I will suggest that if you want to set up an IPMC event on the West Coast, go right ahead.
