Dribbble Connect

So this is meant to stir conversation. I've been thinking about this quite a bit lately and thought, "oh well why don't I ask!" So to the question, have any of the staff or other designers thought of having some sort of conference or regional connect groups where Dribbbler's get together and discuss design, the web, trends, et cetera?

I don't assume I'm the only one to think of this. I think it would be awesome to get together with fellow Dribbbler's whether it be local or at some kind of event.

Please discuss!
