"Conference" sounds a little too uppity to me. I like the idea (and I was thinking of it myself), but I think it doesn't convey the fun sense we're trying to promote. Something along the lines of WikiMeetup (though not as stupid sounding) would be better, I think.
That certainly holds true for other names which were considered last year, like "congress" and "symposium," but "conference" is probably the most plain-speaking way of describing our event without resorting to words like "shindig."
Mind you, I wouldn't object to a shindig.
