To be honest I'm not completely sure I'm comfortable with that level of advertising (in fact it makes me very very uncomfortable) even if it works technically. This isn't TED....and I would hate to see it turn into that especially given the wide variety in organizers each year.

My understanding is that this is far from a decided thing.  There are still some massive concerns about your servers rolling over and dying with the traffic we send from this - particularly for streaming video which is already a bandwidth hog.  I'd want to see some testing first.
