Given the region, perhaps getting MSFT to organize/host it might be an option?
1) They have a fresh new Open Source division, looking for excuses to issue PR about good deeds they've involved with.
2) They have both A) IronPython, B) Python Tools for Visual Studio, and C) Python SDK for Azure, so it is now partially in their interests to showcase their Pythonic goodness.
3) They have lots of hosting locations, usually with catering and other amenenties. :-)
Perhaps some lurking MSFTie could ask (the Open Source division, and/or the teams that fund IronPython or PyTools@CodePlex) for some resource help? ...Unless others here think that'd be a bad idea.
