Also, I imagine it would be tougher to invite a super-VIP to an event that's not necessarily the year's premier event.

Doesn't Kickoff serve the same purpose? My assumptions/feelings/hopes would be that when we eventually move to the SuperRegional structure(ie. what was in that powerpoint; I personally feel like this won't be for at least 10-15 years), we'll eventually have a yearly "FIRST Conference/Convention/World Festival". Think, everything about the Championship, but without the competition. There could be so many more panels/roundtables, and the executive meetings that FIRST has at Championships could occur then.
Of course, that's just my little "fanfiction" of the future of FIRST, but I think the specific administrative things you mentioned are irrelevant towards the eventual addition of SuperRegionals/removal of Championship(which wasn't in the powerpoint laying out the potential SuperRegional structure)
