Just to jump on this thread, i'll add my thoughts on the small parts i contributed to organization: the booklets and the big schedule. I covered these inmy blogpost here:
This year, we put the schedule in the booklets (as we have done in all years past), and we also had a big schedule posted up on the wall for each day (as well as the same thing out the front of each room, so people could easily see what was going on in that room at that time) From watching people, itseemed that many many folks used these, and they were very useful. The format of having each talk on a single strip of paper was useful also, as we could move, remove and add talks when things changed.
One thought that Josh and I were throwing around was to not have the schedule in the booklets at all (as this can get out of date when talks are moved or cancelled). But at least one person on my blog pointed out that it was still useful, even if it might have been out of date.
