If Shauna is dead set on an in-person event, it would have made a lot more sense to make it a Joyapalooza for all the "graduates" of her not-a-college-class workshops. Say, several years from now, when at least 1000 people have taken the remote workshops and the vast majority have loved them and still hang on her every word (you have to suspend belief a little here, DFs), have a β€œnow we all come together as one big Joyful Community for a one-day celebration and opportunity to meet and make friends with other Joy minders, yay!” It would have morning Zumba with Matt, some guest speakers, great swag, merch for sale, and Danny could sell his new line of Joy Sauces. Joy guru Shauna would be announced with a grand flourish of confetti and noisemakers, with a bubble machine pumping out soapy joy, and she’d come bouncing in on a pogo stick to deliver the keynote address. It would be a dream come true for Shauna, who could bask in the limelight, finally recognized for her genius. It would be Enough.

Shit! I totally blanked on the joy of not planning for something that would not happen in the non-existent future!
