Collocation would be a useful idea - save airfare, hotel etc.

I had this lovely little experience where the lead CERT guy at ISP X
was talking about a particular trojan that was hitting his ISP, and
was hitting [ISP Y] and hitting [ISP Z].   He says "I saw these
trojans hitting ISPs Y and Z but didnt know anybody there".

If he'd just bothered to step across the hall and talk to his
colleagues at ISP X's abuse desk.. they are, and have been for years,
in regular contact with their counterparts at Y and Z - email, face to
face, phone, IM etc.

You think there's not enough convergence + shared interests in such programs?

I mean, abuse + security teams could care less about MPLS and peering,
but there is a lot they're discussing (walled gardens, botnet
mitigation etc) that does get discussed in far better detail at nanog.
 Or at FIRST.
