These are almost always positive, especially if the presenters don't just talk about their projects but how they were made, the path to realisation. It could work that host organisations, one or two in each city/region, would join a 'Pecha Kucha' network that provides assistance in the form of travel funds for presenters. As an aside, Dorkbot used to be more interesting 7 or 8 years ago I think, at least here in Europe. Commonly people would get together not just to learn about and peer review another's work but also to get their hands dirty with the technology involved. This is perhaps why such talks have moved more into the hacklab-like spaces, the stink of solder omnipresent..
