Theoretically people could just make new threads for a specific convention if it was just about meeting up. However, I think another benefit of having a forum specifically for it would be that people could more easily discover new conventions happening around them (or just new conventions in general).
It's been years since I last attended a convention, and I don't plan to attend any others... but I like this idea. It would serve as both a nice service (convention news) and a social link for members who are attending.
