If there are meetings like this where it is beneficial to Perl if people 
meet up to face to face, then it's possible that The Perl Foundation[1] 
would be interested in sponsoring at least part of the travel and 
accommodation costs. If you're interested, then it's certainly worth 
speaking to them about it.
