Hard to say. Too much still undecided. In order to limit attendance they may have to make badges a lottery item and then open hotel space based on people who officially won a badge. Though that may not impact publishers from controlling their volunteer crew which could make volunteering for org play a highly sought after prospect.
And there is no way of knowing what the international travel situation might be which would significantly impact participation outside the US.
They might actually benefit from being in Indiana since it is a very conservative state. Meaning (right or wrong) they tend to be resistant to regulations that restrict business and trend towards market freedom over public health in a broad sense. Though with the more socially conscious segment of the gaming community that in and of itself might be cause not to attend. there has long been a subtle rift between the gaming hierarchy ever since it moved to Seattle and Gen Con since it moved to Indianapolis.
There is a lot of hubub whether or not a person can be forced to demonstrate vaccination given HIPPA laws. Similar to how a person with a respiratory condition is not required to prove they have one in order to claim it as a reason to receive reasonable accommodation for entry to a public space.

Cause I am !!!
I am planning on going as well, although I do think turnout will be lower - WHICH IS AWESOME!!!!
Unfortunately the hotel/local rentals have already shot their prices through the roof...price gouging as usual.
That’s usually where the hotel lottery comes in, but it’s a pretty enormous crap shoot
I was trying to do an ABnB a few blocks away. I plan on enjoying the whole con, no volunteering for the 1st time in 10 years.
Nope.
The earliest con I'm even considering attending in-person this year is PAX Unplugged, which is in December. And even that's a "maybe" depending on what the health situation is.
And this is coming from someone who's already fully vaccinated.

If your vaccine works against all the mutations and variants that emerge from the evolutionary swamp that is a partially-vaccinated pool of humans.
I am unsure. Probably not going to any conventions any time soon.
