I have run a clan tent a few times, and the real problem would indeed be the logistics. You really need a bunch of stuff--handouts, photos, things to draw attention, etc.--and it's bad enough when there's a local organization to pass it around locally. Our clan Donnachaidh Society only covered a couple of states, but even that was a big job when it came to making sure someone had all the stuff: flags, tee shirts, broshures, table cloths, books for regerence, and the other items members might bring, like swords or targes.
Extend that to the western world, and we'd have a fortune tied up in stuff to put out. And even by selling badges, pins, etc., we'd not likely break even.
Then there's the manpower issue . . .
