Well, in the grand scheme, location is perhaps the least important factor. So far I've only seen two responses that actually indicate a willingness to participate in (read 'pay for') this type of training. I figure it would take somewhere between 10 and 15 attendees to make it feasible, and for longevity it would take considerably more.

I've also not seen much to indicate what people would want to see taught.

Perhaps what we need are some curricula mock-ups to give people an idea about what is being considered. When people know what's on the agenda they express more willingness to attend. Possible chicken-egg issue here, but I suppose it needs to start somewhere.

My current thought is something like the AppleScript Pro sessions which are held approximately every 6 months IIRC and bounce around the States (Continental). First one was in Atlanta, second in Monterey, CA, then back to Atlanta, then Baton Rouge, etc.

In my head right now:

San Francisco
Los Angeles
Denver
Dallas
St Louis
Chicago
Philadelphia

That's a fair number of cities; enough for 3+ years of sessions if they are given every 6 months. And every 6 months could get dicey because I wouldn't want to detract from REALworld, so there's going to be some dead time on the calendar surrounding that week.

If you've read this far, and you are truly interested in seeing something like this happen, feel free to e-mail me directly with any details you'd like to provide, i.e. training desires, price point thoughts, willingness to instruct (and topics), anything I haven't listed here.

How would folks feel about Philadelphia (or near Philadelphia with a free ride from the airport)?
