I have only been in the business four months so far, but I have accumulated 80 - A2A contacts so far. In the beginning I was thinking of collecting SFI contacts from Northern Thailand, but now most of my A2A contacts are from other countries, so getting them all together is not feasible.
What I had in mind earlier was to get all the active ESAs from this area together at some point sort of like what you are talking about. There are so many arts and crafts from this area that could do well if marketed through TripleClicks. My thinking was that it could be really valuable to trade notes on what works when marketing local products. My thinking is that TripleClicks is going to grow into a place known for being able to buy and sell local products at very reasonable prices, possibly having an online country fair from a given country to group market products of that country. Let's say Mexico, say for one month, all Mexican ECAs would be highlighted, and then next month another country.
If you were able to get a bunch of local A2As together, I think it would be really cool to have a Platinum Team Leader to speak. I think the purpose of the get together should be to have fun, though, and not too much serious stuff. One possibility I like would be to have it oriented to the Eager Zebra games, especially group participation in the Trivia games. You could also have people who have been successful at each of the games talking about strategies they use. That is something that everyone could possibly benefit from, and probably would result in increased game playing on the part of all attendees.
I think you should keep in mind what you intend to accomplish to make sure it benefits all who attend, whether they are in the business or not, or whether they are cross line or not. You should realize that it could turn negative if you are not careful. You don't want two cross-line affiliates battling for a single new PSA, and you don't want anyone putting down another line of sponsorship. That just wouldn't be healthy for the business as a whole.
