33 is about average for a convention that size in the US.
Remember there are 3 opportunities per year to get baptized - one regional convention and 2 circuit assemblies.
What was the breakdown on ages - could you tell? What percentage was under, say, age 15?

That's an unusual statistic. More adults that children of JW's.

It is important to remember the bizarre effects of looming war talk on former JWs who are still mentally in. They probably think Daniel 8 is all about Trump and the END IS NIGH! (... again ... maybe ... but for sure sometime ... eventually ... unless JWs are wrong, in which case, they don't wanna be right!)
Little do they suspect that the end is Nye! -

Was that an "international" convention?

In the end growth is determined by the so-called WTS reported number annually.
It is a manufactured number. If a baptized person left after their baptism between September 2018 and August 2019, they would still be counted as a baptism.
