As far as I see (watching from the other side of the globe), for most states it already is over, no matter whether somebody got a shot or not. (actually, getting reports of people *with* the shot get increasing trouble, eg. kept out of stores, schools, planes, ...).
FL and TX seem to be the most relaxed states in this regard. Maybe ask DeStantis and Abbot whether they'd support such a conference in their states, maybe they'd even open their cheque books ;-)

Looking from a totally different angle, I believe the hybrid approach could even be a benefit. For example, longer talks - IMHO - are easier to do (and for the audience) when just recorded, so people can listen to them any time (and as often one wants to). Spontanous questions right after, I guess, are only helpful for a small minority that's already deep in that particular topic - in those cases I'd prefer a more personal conversation. Another scenario are expert working groups, where people already involved into certain topic talk closely - IMHO something where direct (group) calls are a good medium, and probably working better outside the strict time frames of such an event.
Maybe it's good idea to jump back to square one and ask the question, what people actually expect from and try to achieve from such an event, before going into some actual planning. (I could only express my very personal view, but that's probably far from being representative)
