Like "conflict of interest"? 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conflict_of_interest)

"A conflict of interest (COI) occurs when an individual or organization 
is involved in multiple interests, one of which could possibly corrupt 
the motivation for an act in the other."

Given that you're both the author of half of the books as well as 
president of ESUG (the organizer) it's pretty clear that you're stuck in 
a conflict of interest situation. Inviting the Pharo community to 
participate and not others only shows how deep the conflict of interest 
goes - the president of ESUG shouldn't favor individual communities, 
should he?
