The "Coronations" event pack has only been teased and just the "Grand Coronation" activity and its impacts on the character's entire realm have been revealed. I have a major suggestion to this future event pack before the devs even announce a release date and start talking about it in their dev diaries, so there may be time for this idea to be implemented.
Previous event packs introduced additional ways to complement our strategic gameplay, and with this one I am looking forward to: the acquisition of a Kingdom title claim over realm not yet entirely conquered and, along with it, the ability to create a not-yet-created/previously-destroyed title.
Medieval History is full of examples of rulers that were cerimonially crowned kings of realms beyond their actual control. Just to mention a couple: Holy Roman Emperors (e.g. Frederick Barbarossa) crowned kings of Italy but never truly having a grasp over anything in the Italian peninsula, usually having to (unsuccesfully) fight for it; or the English king Henry VI having himself crowned as king of France during the Hundred Years' War while still only controlling a portion of the realm.
A Grand Coronation, as an activity, should have an option to attempt to claim a Kingdom-tier title in the character's region, therefore taking an oath to conquer all that land while you rule, with high costs in case one fails. If partially successful, the ruler would get a claim over the desired Kingdom and then would wage wars until fully holding the territory necessary to create the title; but if highly successful, the ruler would perhaps reduce the needed amount of de jure counties necessary to creating the title, maybe even end up founding the desired kingdom, then fighting wars over the de jure lands; but success would not be guaranteed... this should be a high stakes attempt, with a possibility to have your mission fail either the coronation attempt itself or the future conquest of the desired kingdom and both having major consequences
