Absolutely not.

There is a big difference between meeting your opponent
in real life, and being able to discuss (yes, that's possible
on a server too, but its not the same) what and how the
programs work and evaluate the position.

A real event is much more exciting than an internet event,
just because of actually meeting the people behind the machines.

This is also why I think it's very important the author is
present.
