Another option would be breaking up conventions to location, say in the US have one on the west coast, midwest, east coast. Just a thought.

Choose a date, time and location sometime in the distant future and let’s see if there is a gathering of FlyerTalk members large enough to require renting out an entire hotel, chartering an aircraft (while still earning miles, of course!) and/or completely filling up a restaurant.
