Most of you are aware that the keyserver network is currently in a

you try something like the following:

    $ export MY_KEY=0x2404C9546E145360 # Naturally, your key goes here
    $ for i in pgpkeys.eu pgp.surf.nl pgp.pm keyserver.ubuntu.com the.earth.li

Is it possible to avoid the keyserver network somehow? Because as you mentioned, it is failing, and also it is not recommended to use it anymore (as far as I know).

For example, instead of uploading the fingerprint, we can upload the public key itself somewhere, in a public place, or send it by attachment to a coordinator.

Maybe I am missing something. Maybe a keysigning party makes no sense without a keyserver infrastructure. I am not sure.
