Many of us would love to attend too, but with the issues regarding travels it mainly boils down to US going by themselves and a few dedicated people that travel long distances.
You would have to put a major showing in each of the NA areas, some in EU and maybe one or two in Aus.
Just saying, it is rather difficult to go to one... not that we dont want to. In canada we do not have the numbers that the US cities have. Heck half of the football games for highschool have more then our CFL games... So canada is not really a concern for the next 200 years.
Instead of going all out, I wonder if a smaller grass-roots style to start would be better. Send out feelers in different regions to estimate attendance size. If it's small, maybe just send one person to hang out for a bit. If it blows up big you can always surprise them with another Pantheon member. I'm sure people who attend will be willing to help, like record the event, and spread word through different internet mediums.

SWTOR does its cantina tours, but they aren't highly populated.
I doubt too many people would travel just to hear one dev speak.

I agree that more Pantheon members will increase the desire to attend therefore have a larger audience. My reasoning is the size of the team. The team can continue to be productive if only one or two people go. If those two are Brad and Kilsin ... well drunk Kilsin atleast, he's more entertaining ... I believe the turnout will be rewarding.
My wife and I played EQ and EQ2 for years and years, but it was only a couple years ago that we attended our first SOE Live. It was a blast. The panels were awesome and meeting up with guildies at the con was a highlight of my life. Unfortunately soon after theat SOE became Daybreak Games and they never held another one. /sigh
I would make every effort to attend a #Fantheon should VR hold one.
I did attend EQ fanfaire 2003, about 2000 people were there I think. All I remember is something called a Warp Core. Here is a shot I managed to stitch together. I would attend a fan event, once there is something to be a fan of.
And here is a smaller group shot. These are mostly BotS and Tindi Losi peeps. The group that woke the first sleeper ever btw.
