What's the potential impact of overexposure that has you concerned? E.g. a meetup resulting in many more people booking an xONEx and that risks the product rules and/or prices (especially from "optimised" locations) ?

After giving it some thought I think you're right especially regarding any formal or marketed presentation. Recent trends have sparked that spidy sense of approaching end of life.

That makes sense, and to be clear, Im not looking to turn this into a formal event, presentation, or anything public-facing.

I was picturing something small and informal--more like a few FlyerTalkers getting drinks and comparing notes--not a marketed seminar, not content creation, and not an effort to broadcast anything widely.

Part of the appeal to me is actually the opposite: RTW ticketing feels niche enough that it would be nice to talk through it with a small group of people who already appreciate the complexity.

So if anything happens, my instinct would be to keep it low-key.
