I agree this would be good, but it would be better to bring a group of
people together. There are the meetings put together by Equinix but they
dont address the smaller exchanges.

Maybe tack this on to the end of Nanog and have a peering forum/conf.

It is easier for me to add a night on a business trip then starting over
and asking for another trip. One more night is cheaper and I assume that
those involved with peering also have something to do with Networks.

Just a thought.
