It looks like there are plans to do one in Philadelphia...

"Meanwhile, he and his team are fine-tuning his networking software and helping stage smaller flash mob supercomputing events, such as a demonstration of computational chemistry at the American Chemical Society’s meeting being held from 22 – 26 August in Philadelphia, USA."

cheers,
