To be specific, the EVENT exists because of the FORUM, the FORUM does NOT exist because of the EVENT.
Yes that is true, but nearly every group, organization, association or club has to have get-togethers or meetings to sustain interest, growth and camaraderie. Otherwise it rarely sustains over a long period of time. People tend to leave, as others join.
Similar interests beget group get togethers.
Just take a look at car clubs, motorcycle clubs, chess clubs, real estate investing groups, etc.
We all want to learn, impart, show off, grow, and relate to others that understand the same 'why' we enjoy or do things. Most of us receive something greater from community when we meet up that we cannot receive via just a response on a forum.
I think for long term sustainability, the Forum and Summit meetups go hand in hand. It definitely helps me to identify better with like-minded people, and keeps me coming back because I respect not only what they have to say but see their growth and accomplishments.
One cannot trade personal interaction with only a comment on a Forum
