If the conference is intended to confer then ensure that there is a variety of meeting techniques and fluid engagement. In order for audience to participate the planning and pre meeting outline must also be clear and content alive with anticipation. The first part of the agendas at meeting must embrace audience expectation and establish theme for the conference approach. Fantastic article and again one that actually encourages thinking and exploration not just status quo. I agree the content must be robust and live with passion and audience participation.

I also don't want it to sound too catchy and fluffy - with no meat. Which ties right back to your focus on learner objectives.
