I would vote for either 1 or 2.  Although 3 would seem like a good
option, I don't think it would work as effectively as 1/2.  Maybe get a
good event going on for 2011 in one place and then run a similar event
elsewhere in 2012 - so we're planning a single event and rotating
locations annually.

I'll put my oar in and say that I'd be more than happy to give a talk
on something.

Obviously personal circumstances will have an effect on everybody's
efforts - even if something had been planned for this year and I had
volunteered my time to be there, I would have had to pull out... my
wife was diagnosed with a 4-5mm renal stone on Wednesday morning which
she is going to have to "pass naturally". X(
