Hey Briar, I think this is a very important idea,and the more we can replicate the many aspects of a conference the better received such a platform will be. It sounds like your team has a good deal of experience, and is well prepared to cover the areas needed to make this venture work. Applying an Open Access model is a great idea, particularly if you were to engage partners who are more about the dissemination of their message than the safeguarding of the IP. Monetizing this may be challenge, but I do think that you have some good numbers in terms of what you feel would be the costs associated with the development of this venture.

Hi Noan, thanks. I agree monetizing will be tricky. One of the ways I was trying to work around this, is to provide the service to journals not end users, this way I bill for the event not charging each individual. This reduces my risk of having not very many registrations which would be taken on by the hosting business.
