Maybe I'm biased a bit based on my location, but I agree a centrally located place is the best.  Nebraska is central and there are some nice plcaes there, but I think the Black Hills of South Dakota would be the ideal spot.  It is absolutely beautiful and there are plenty of sights to see.  If tens of thousands of Harleys can make it in August, a few busses should be able to make it in June.

I could picture a single event that would rotate to different regional
locations in a cycle that would repeat say every six years, or, several
regional events under the same name and at the same time.
A 'centrally located' event, considering the majority makeup of this
list
would be in northern Nebraska somewhere. Long way for me to drive
(SoCal);
tho I wouldn't mind making the trip necessarily it just wouldn't be a
possibility for us.
Attaching 'lists events' to other major events (like Burning Man, or
music
festivals or the like) might be an interesting avenue.
I like the idea but logistically it's a tough nut I think.

Cya,
