This could be taken even further. Use LGM brand (well, it's an
exxageration, but still...) like TEDx brand and organize local LGMs
under LGM name. Whether they should be co-located with other events,
is an entirely different matter.

The point is, if people have a critical mass of participants who want
to talk about related stuff, and if they somehow can find sponsorship,
just let them do it.

Berlin could be European LGM next year. No need to skip it unless we
have noone to organize it.
