OK, some other ideas -- are there any large corporations, or other organizations / institutions, in your area the you could approach? Ask them what sorts of training/motivation/retreat/event needs they might have, and then see if you could organize seminars that would meet their needs. The idea here is to identify a (captive) audience first, and then try to find presenters to meet that need (as opposed to trying to find people to come to a seminar you've already organized on topic XYZ wth presenters A, B & C). Just an alternative approach to getting your feet wet.
You could also approach the various venues in your area and talk to their event staff to find out what kind of events they have been hosting, and ask about what kind of events they think there might be a market for that is not being met, etc...
