One thing that might be interesting for you is that the Smalltalk Solutions 2011 conference will be held in March in Las Vegas, Nevada. Not as local as it might be, but not so far away.

David Do you want me to forward that mail to esug? BTW do you know that all my lectures are in creative commons as well as the ones of oscar nierstrasz. http://stephane.ducasse.free.fr/Tmp/PowerPoint/ I'm thinking that he could find somebody to help you even orthogonally to this position. for example if you succeed to some lectures over a week we could send an experienced teacher (like me for example) and we could ask ESUG to support some of the cost.
