Even though the idea seems a little crazy I think it`s possible to organize such a event.

There are couple of hey things that have to be taken care of:

-cheating ( by announcing a topic couple hours before event starts )

-getting media sponsors ( preferably startups with API' )

-presentations streamed ( justin.tv/ustream etc.)

-progress written up ( like http://www.travisglines.com/web-coding/lets-make-a-twitter-c...)

-possible prizes via AppSumo or similar venue

I`ve been actually thinking about putting together such a event in the next couple of weeks.

Since I`m launching a website in exactly that area soon, check it out in my profile.
