Some excellent suggestions, Rainer, thanks!

Think about some more specific agenda items, and then get people to
agree to do something in the conference, which will in turn draw more
participants.
Say, part 1 would be "getting the maximum out of simple loopers", and
then people like Rick Walker or Matt Davignon who simply start
demonstrating their secret tricks. Other participants may then ask
questions, or offer their own suggestions. Or, if the other participants
are shy at first, let the two "panelists" simply start a discussion,
encouraging the others to chime in. This would have worked to fill some
45 minutes. Do one or two more of those blocks. Then end the thing with
an "open mic" round of performances, with 10 minutes for each one, with
two confirmed performers, and then others can perform, and after each
performance, you do a Q&A/discussion round on the performanc.That way,
someone reading about it would know what to expect. He would get info on
some specific topics, as well as the possibility to ask questions to
some accomplished artists as well as other participants. He would get to
listen to some short performance, and get a chance to do one himself and
get valuable feedback on it. Just my .02
