I like your blatant commercial for the training company mentioned in the article. They are a training company; they just sell the concept as a security conference.
Moving on: The reason your idea of a conference will never materialize is two fold: 1. No one wants to admit they need help with the basics. Telling your boss you need help with the basics is begging to be hazed, ridiculed and demoted. The worst part is: you are right, we all need refresher.
2. Sysadmin work is not sexy. Sexy topics sell, we can sell them to our boss, we can sell them to our peers, and training companies can sell them to us.
