^What he said. Most of the core leadership types I know (and I'll include myself in this number with a characteristic lack of humility) are too busy actually making con and non-con stuff happen; so much so that they don't have time to theorize about how it works in an unstructured manner. Hell, I just had to give up some position space so that I had breathing room for my life. Others are doing the same.
I don't even have the time to properly train someone else to do what I do...if someone wants to know how I do that stuff, they are going to have to be aggressive in their pursuit of that knowledge, because I don't have time to hand-hold.
Hell, if I were going to plan a "how to run cons" thing for SE Michigan (a notion that has been in the back of my mind for a bit now), I would do it as a lecture series, get a panel of entertaining speakers that know what they're talking about, serve lunch, have a chat scheduled somewhere. Have the attendees determine what the next topic will be and find speakers to discuss that topic. If you want to run with it, please feel free, otherwise, it's something that I'll probably have time to consider in a couple of years.
