It looked pretty modest, < 1000 people, from what I saw. It's not bad considering the whole thing was pitched as a philosophy rally more or less.
It probably suffered from a by-stander effect on the promotion side too; "a group of people are grouping, do you want to group with them?" JBP and many of the speakers could probably draw bigger crowds on their own.

I think they were expecting much more than that. Wasn't Bret Weinstein on Rogan talking about wanting half a million people to send a message to politicians.

Yeah but marketing isn't one of Bret's many talents, e.g. "Come hear about our eight nuanced political pillars!"

Definitely. I appreciate the pillars but even I who was interested in them fell asleep by the end of him describing them.
