* Moderation in the sessions: Have a _seasoned_ moderator in each
room. Someone whose only job it is to cut short presentations that are
too long, who can moderate discussions/questions if there is a need.
Someone nasty ;).
I agree, I heard about a couple of problems because of the lack of such a moderator.
I'd add to his tasks (or the tasks of whoever else from the staff stays in the room all the time) to grab a copy of each presentation slides, to be uploaded to Commons or wikimaniawiki if the license is not suitable for some reason. Presenters quite often don't know how to upload to our wikis, or how to convert the files in the right format, or they just forget it.
