Designing an "in persona" event so that less firmly established persona 
players are as welcome as those players  with strongly developed persona 
seems like a tight-rope walk.  It can be very easy for those with more 
developed personas to be or be perceived as being,  unhappy about the 
less developed personas spoiling their game.   If that trap can be 
avoided, such an event would be like a persona workshop.  Akin to an 
immersion language study program,  the players with more developed 
personas proceeding and the less skilled players having to learn fast to 
keep up.    Intense learning.  

How big a geographic area would it take to funnel enough attendees?  
Events are usually hosted by local groups and  not all members of any  
group will feel personafied well enough to attend much less host, so who 
would host such an event?    Perhaps it is best done as an event within 
an event.    Is this what  "Enchanted Ground" at Pennsic is?
