• <JodiS> thumbdrives, except for demos

• Ask presenters to use canned screencasts when possible (and offer pre-conference links to directions on how to create screencasts)

• Turn off Growl.

• Provide at least three flip-charts in the lobby area -- one for breakouts, one for lightning talks and one for extra curricular activities.

• For the lightning talk flip-chart, pre-mark it with numbers so there aren't too many lightning talks signed up for a particular block in the schedule.

• Provide a web service to collect feedback for speakers

• Add a "HOWTO have fun" presentation early in the conference to invite more participation
