Reality Simulations still runs a face-to-face event twice a year for their game Duel2 (formerly known as Duelmasters, before being threatened by a horde of lawyers from Wizards of the Coast/Hasbro). They hold a Duel2 tournament in January in Arizona (where they are based) and then each summer they hold another one, generally somewhere on the east coast, to try and allow different players who may not be able to travel to attend.
I've been attending these events for years. The most recent one, which occurred a few months ago in Tempe, Arizona, had 30 players present. That game, in particular, is still alive and well. The next one is this summer in Milwaukee.
RSI also attends a few regular gaming conventions each year, running demos of Duel2 and some of their other games. I think they may only attend GenCon and OrcCon now, but they used to attend far more. I recall playing a demo tourney at Origins 15-20 years ago.
Not exactly a general PBM convention, but a convention of PBM gamers nonetheless!
