They organize this type of events all the time and have personnel in charge. I have contacts in the computing division and I can ask them if they would be interested people think it is appropriate.

One problem with Fermilab is a lack of enough nearby hotels. People
would end up a fair distance away, and would really need to have a
rental car to get there. Some dorm space in the village might be
available, though, these days. Also, Fermilab is a good distance away
from most mass transit.
