FWIW, in my role in the program committee, I have always tried to think
about who we should bring in that hasn't been there before - with a
certain amount of success, I hope.

We could perhaps do better, maybe with a rule that N% of the seats
should be filled by first-time attendees.  But we do also have to be
sure that the right people are in the room handle the topics under
consideration, and that will inevitably include a number of old-timers
who have been there before.
