Sorry to chime in late..
I and a couple of my staff members would participate.
City: Don't Care (U.S.)
Cost: Not an issue
As a suggestion, you may want to approach some vendors*** or
potential vendors to sponsor some portion of the event - do a little
advertising and/or maybe do a lunch presentation to help offset some
of the expenses (conference room, food etc).

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.
