I think that the Montreal Pd Convention did a good job of being a community event while still having a academic segment.
If it is a problem to get university support then I certainly don't mind the so-called academic segment to be handled outside of a university. It was already somewhat like that, as the reviewers included people outside of universities, and McGill mostly just provided the room and projector. It could have happened in another room in the city. However I would not spit on most any university support. São Paulo guys should at least try to get some university support and then if there is not much or if it is otherwise not appropriate then they can fall back on their grassroots.
