What we could do, along the lines of the big video conference idea, is take polls for both our European and American members, and based on votes of those interested in attending, pick central locations (one to possibly three in the US, and same for Europe, though would probably need less for Europe) off of those votes, and thus it could be a series of meetings globally, connected via the web. That way it would help support a larger base of meetings, and not leave half of the site left out if it's just going to be held on one continent or the other, plus be less of a financial strain for those attending as well.
