Anyone can organize a walk-n-talk, and walk-n-talks can happen anywhere. We’ve done a couple in Japan, one in Spain, and one in China.

I don't have any data to back this up, but I suspect that most companies don't need more than 20 developers, with some needing 20 to 50 developers, and only a handful needing between 50 and 100 developers.
