Having got to play with the site yesterday, I was impressed that one of MY conferences was already listed with speakers, attendees and myself listed as an editor, its a really nice interface which impressed me straight off.

The only thing I would suggest would be also having facebook connect or whatever its called this week as even though we are a web conference, only 60% of our audience has a twitter account however most of them have a facebook account (with mostly the same friends)

I would recommend LinkedIn over Facebook, people will likely want to use their professional profiles for attending conferences.

I agree. Also, I'm hesitant to log in from work since we block twitter here and I don't want to hit the web filter.
