Do you have a link to reviews of the 2021 event? If not can anyone who attended comment (sponsor excluded LOL
Specifically I am wondering how useful this will be for those of us non-highrollers who like to play VP, $25 BJ and $10 craps (no doubt I'm dating myself) as well as those who are not novices to the miles and points game.

I went as a speaker and guest prior to 2021, I forget the year, it was at Treasure Island in Vegas. Non-highrollers can definitely benefit. Like most of these events, it's about incremental progress in the "game". The sessions that weren't mine helped me get a little more confidence implementing some comp hustling techniques I've largely ignored. And the points and miles sessions I went to essentially did the same. I learned a few tips that weren't on my radar prior that have likely saved me more than a ticket would have cost (I didn't pay as a speaker). It pains me to give Michael credit, but he runs a good program and he's passionate about it. The group gaming is a big plus.

Zorkfest 2021 Alum returning for Zorkfest 2023
I attended Zorkfest 2021 in Las Vegas as a “non-high roller” and an intermediate points and miles enthusiast. It was intriguing to me to have these 2 worlds connect. First of all I will say that Zorkfest is a unique, educational and outright fun event and community. The organizers take great pride in making the event special, informative and nostalgic. Zorkfest exceeded my expectations in learning about Casino loyalty, status and play as well as points and miles strategies and optimization. The ABSOLUTE BEST PART of Zorkfest is the awesome community of people from all walks of life. The side conversations, the sharing of stories and tips, and the friendships that develop is what most appealed to me and what keeps me a supporter of the Zorkfest community. I am looking forward to Zorkfest in Lake Tahoe next month and I highly recommend everyone to come for a weekend you will be talking about for years to come.

Ok I'm in. I'm probably overdue since I've never done a *A mega-do or FTU. Plus, I've always wanted to meet Gleff...

I attended the 2021 event (some sessions), and as someone with zero VP experience, I was able to build a good base and was able to learn some strategies. The speakers/organizers are usually well-versed in all three games you mentioned. Pick those modules from the schedule that are most interesting for you as naturally, not every topic is relevant to everybody.
