I'm in the UK and there used to be two conferences, Brumcon and DNScon both of which have folded as far as I know. I'd love to have a Shmoocon style event over here and would be happy to help organise as long as someone else actually tells me what needs doing. We had a really good Hak5 meet up a couple of years back where we did a load of techie stuff, last year it was in Germany and this year I didn't get to it.
