The "public" was invited.

IMGG was prepared to accommodate 300 people if necessary.

It's why an RSVP was necessary.

The fact that only 60 - 70 people chose to come, does not make it a "private " event

Private display vs public demonstration

Question 102.05

Question: Can an issuer satisfy Regulation FD's public disclosure requirement by disclosing material nonpublic information in a speech at a shareholder meeting open to the public? The meeting will not be covered by the press, or webcast or broadcast by any electronic means.

Answer: No. Under Rule 101(e), public disclosure of information required to be disclosed by Rule 100(a) can be made either by furnishing or filing with the Commission a Form 8-K disclosing that information, or by disseminating the information through another method or combination of methods of disclosure "that is reasonably designed to provide broad, non-exclusionary distribution of the information to the public." A meeting that is open to the public but not otherwise webcast or broadcast by any electronic means is not a method of disclosure "reasonably designed to provide broad, non-exclusionary distribution of the information to the public."
