So I was finally able to chat the the guy at my LCS who's been coordinating some events with BEC. According to him, they pretty much have everything locked in from a guest standpoint. They're just going to take their time with announcements to build to the show.
I also asked how the event went on the 31st. He said it went very well and a lot of good ideas were shared. Of all the people in attendance, only one guy was constantly complaining about the June show being cancelled. Most people remain excited.
