As for "when am I ready?" You'll never be ready. It works in reverse, you become ready by doing it. - pmbomb

Add to that the target location that means many people travelling a couple of hundred miles and buying a night or two in a hotel, well I think it's all a bit optimistic.
Sorry to pour cold water on an idea but you should also remember that the guitar is an instrument not a style of music. A bagpipe convention for example might attract people who by definition would tend to favour a reasonably well-defined musical genre. On the other hand folk fans, classical enthusiasts, heavy metal players and jazzers - all guitarists - might well feel fairly remote from each other even though they all play the same type of instrument.
I'm sure the organisers have an idea about this but asking if someone knows a drummer or a a bassist a month ahead of target date begs the question what sort of musicians are you looking for? Jazz kit drummer? Conga expert? Orchestral percussionist? Do you want readers or someone who's got a tambourine?
My suggestion would be that the organisers start work now on an event for 2024. Decide on the genre, the venue, and the music. Publish the music for the readers, the chords for the strummers and the sounds if possible for the ear players. Accept that the list of fretboarders interested in your event wont be universal but hope it includes enough to make the effort and expense worthwhile.
Small is fine. It can be a trial run for something bigger later. If that's even desirable in the first place.
Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.
I look forward to signing up for your event in due course what dates and locations are you planning for
on previous meet ups I’ve sang and played (I think) Since You Been Gone / All Night Long (both Rainbow), Sweet Home Alabama, and played bass on Black Magic Woman and something else that I can’t recall. I’m sure I could re-work those out again.
any other suggestions for some things to strum along to
Or I like the idea of a Hendrix jam track like Who Knows, Hear my Train or similar where everyone can have a bit of fun but it's also fun to sit back and play some rhythm and fills?

I guess we need to confirm what it is and as Sev said, the cost etc.
Should I start a new thread for the gear fest?
