May not really be mask related.
IMO - usually the day after an event like this ends, planning and work begins on next year's. That's been unable to happen for a long time and there's a ton of uncertainty going on still.
It's less about getting people together in a room and more about a reason to have them there to begin with. What type of quality event can you put on with VERY truncated planning cycle and a likely limited ability for vendors to participate. Does the event you put on hold up to what those who pay money to do so expect from such a thing?
People rent hotels, fly, etc - willing to do that for 5 guys around a card table showing off a Ruger American in 22-250? Not likely to garner a positive response or feeling from those that go.
They may want to "do it right or not at all" more than being worried about masks.
