I would need some setup time and accommodation in advance of the conference.

I'm based in Cambridge, UK. Return flights from London to Chicago for that week are currently priced at about £320 so reckon on about £400 for my door-to-door transport costs. I wouldn't expect to earn money from this; only to have my expenses paid. As I think I said before, Holger and I were at the 25C3 and we were impressed with the video coverage. We were intending to get in contact with the video team for that (FeM Streaming team <http://streaming.fem.tu-ilmenau.de/>) in the hope of future collaboration or at least knowledge-sharing. You may also be able to recruit from them; I expect that many of them will have good English. Ben.
