Walter,
I would say that getting people to help out at Glasgow congress is a challenge, but I am not sure it is the big issue here. As you quite rightly point out organising an event like this is a year long project and that is what takes the real effort. It is very unlikely that an individual will step forward and organise a big event like this; Most likely four or five people will get together, throw around thoughts and suddenly the kernel of an idea will emerge. Essentially, it is just chance, or so it would appear!
The more people we have involved in events, the more of these chance meetings will occur and dramatically increase the possibility of an new events forming. Of course once one event starts, this will provide a knowledge base and hopefully provide an impetus to others.
In general, I think when people think about organising an event they often tend to think big, it all proves too daunting and it doesn't come to fruition. So I am asking people to think small and get some momentum going.
