Surely this was supposed to be for the attendees to detail the event in order to generate more hype for the movie, but only one person that I could find posted up details and multiple photos. It certainly wasn't a prize or reward as there didn't seem to be any consistency with who attended, and they weren't prohibited from talking about the day.
This wasn't an event for the regular media to promote to the general public, this was for the fansites to promote the movie to the dedicated fans, so I think Paramount didn't do a good job choosing the right people for this and wasted a lot of money, for pretty much no return.
I probably would have paid to go to this if I had enough notice, and just like my BotCon reports, I would have been posting up heaps of photos and info for the benefit of all those other fans who couldn't make it.
