I wouldn't try to compare it with a PHP conference. PHP is very
generic and can have a broad range of topics discussed. A single
conference about it is probably not interesting to the majority of its
users, who would prefer smaller and more focused conferences.

Typo3 is such of a focus one might want to talk about, and I think that a
much higher percentage of those folks interested in Typo3 would be
interested in a Typo3-Conference.

And imagine it being in Germany, where the Typo3-Hype is already very big.
If well organized, I can easily image 200-300 persons participating (if
its "free for students", add another 50-100 to it). If not more! :)
