I recently co-organized http://hackitaly.org and it was a great success mainly due to:

- focus on a set of predefined APIs, which key developers from the relating companies present in the room

- a shitload of prizes from those companies for the best projects (each company decided who to give the prizes to)

- free breakfast/lunch/dinner

- redbull

- huge room with tables of 6 people

- no ideas pitching, just coding
