For background, in the 3 previous NMC conferences I have been involved with since starting my job there in 2006- we’ve done mainly a “tag this conference” approach where we ask people to tag photos, web sites, blog posts e.g. 2006 , 2007 , 2008 where I cobbled together some summary pages using mainly my own Feed2JS code.
