Presentations and Program
# Should there be a limit on how many times the same person can give a presentation? I (jrochkind) think maybe so (even though I did like all of the repeat-person presentations in 2010, I think prioritizing "no spectators" and spreading presentations around more may still be worth it)
# Have speaker release forms available online two weeks before conference - speakers bring final copy with them.
# Encourage use of screencasts for demos! Live demos are nice and shiny, but are a liability during presentations (wasted time trying to get it to work, no backups in case of live demo fail, etc.). The presentations that had screencasts went well, and screencasts could reduce the need to switch laptops due to software needs. - yo_bj
# Some (most?) presenters didn't care for the lectern (but it keeps them in place, which makes recording easier..){what's the alternative when you have a struggling videographer and the house sound hooked up to the lectern mike? would a table have been a better choice - i.e. more real estate and more open? lysiakld}[personally, I like lecterns, maybe some way of having or not having it as speaker prefers? -ksclarke] Have a wireless mic option, either handheld or lapel, for those wanting to avoid the lectern (still makes video tough, though) and ensure the venue can support another mic.

# Use screen capture software, e.g. Camtasia Relay, instead of relying on video. Quality++ Obstacle might be trying to send the video to the Relay server over an already stressed pipe. Our campus has Relay. I can ask if they'd let us pound it for 3+ days. [-jstirnaman]
