I think that's the point of it though. Because modders don't have the PR resources, they have the show that they can attend to show off their stuff. I guess there could also be conferences for the "best of," where they would be able to give a full presentation, a live demo, and take questions. Any press that would attend the conference would give HUGE publicity to the mods.

The most important thing here is to get a backing and funding from huge developers of games and software, as well as hardware manufacturers. If Intel were to sponsor the event and use it as a chance to show off the power of their newest line of processors and SSDs, that's great for us and them.
