I think that's a great idea. I also recommend you ask someone from the Comptroller's Office to join the discussion. No matter how good the professional, it is helpful for them and attendees to hear directly from those that make the rules as well as those who interpret them. This is too important. This is also what I used to do with my Street MBA program that I created and taught for ACC for 10 years. It was very well received. We do have a contact at Comptroller's if you need one.
