The time differences make some of this difficult, but JP#s suggested that we just do a coordinated international meet weekend. The US, EU, Canadian, Asian, etc, meets could all take place over one weekend, but that would mean some people would have to choose which one to attend and some vendors might be caught up in that same choice.
unfortunately the reality of factoid #1 might make simultaneous multi-meets financially prohibitive.
here's a concept, since many folks regard nyc as the greatest city i the world (and one can reasonably travel there from virtually anywhere there are head-fiers) why not have all the (inter)nat meets here and different crew can host it each yr!
