* Add chairs to the front of the room so that lightning talk presenters can sit before they talk
* Do not place a conference goer near the hospitality suite! Maybe make the hang out place a different area in the hotel or conference.
** Another possibility could be to have the room next to the hospitality room be reserved for a "suite steward" or "host" volunteer - aka a person that can look after the room in terms of cleanliness, drink/food stock, etc.
* Make the podium laptop desktop background a plain color with good contrast. After every group of presenters clean off the desktop to keep it quicker and easier for presenters to find their slides.
* Put someone at the front of the room who is responsible for helping presenters with the presenter computer.
* Consider precombining lightning talks into a single slide deck to keep the flow going.
* Consider live closed captioning software for talks and streaming
