Hmm, a point well worth considering. It seems
that the core issue is how to balance the
good of the presenters (to keep them coming
back) with the good of the guests (to offer
them sufficient opportunity to learn about
more topics).

I guess the first question is whether we even
face the issue of having too many presenters
for a single room.

Another idea that comes to mind is the way
the Desert Software Symposium handled it,
they had the most important topics present
more than once, so you could miss one but
still catch the other.
