For the short form, check out this post:

Specificly, partway down the line "$3,000 that went to AMH Productions for use
of the BrickFest name". When people use a name for an event, they very often
reserve some rights to the name (a good idea - as otherwise, somebody else may
grab the rights to that name after you've spent years working up the publicity
behind it). But if those people then control that name - and can charge you, or
keep you from using it, or even order you to remove said name from all your
literature and event materials... a rather expensive "twist".

Not neccessarily. I suspect those (Brickfests) can pretty well happen anywhere,
anywhen, that somebody wants to negotiate for the name, meet all the standards
those folks (the owners of the name) specify, and pay for the right to do so.
The fact that new names/events keep popping up may represent the diversification
of the groups, or the difficulty in securing a single name.
