The most fun I've had at a conference was Apple's Worldwide Developer's Conference (WWDC) in the early 90s.

They had multiplayer games, candy, and amazing tech demos (the comparative processing power of an 040 versus PowerPC) and great parties.

Also agree that Q&A and overall audience participation is so key to a satisfactory experience for both attendees and speakers.

Hey, you guys should do a directory of all the participants who will blog and maybe even think about creating tags for each session.
