In regards to the "Unconference" idea, we might want to consider an 
OpenSpaceTechnology area as well:

People tend to get together anyways between and during the conference 
sessions, this would just give it a bit more structure.    I'm still 
thinking on the other ideas, but the one thing I always wanted was more 
hands on instruction.   Many of the tutorials in the past haven't been 
hands on, where people actually have labs and exercises to complete.   
Too many talking heads, not enough instruction and doing.   We tried to 
address this in the XSLT tutorial last year, where we used the XSL Tools 
components to complete the labs provided by the tutorial on the XSLT 
language.   Seemed to work well, people got introduced to a new 
language, and also learned about the capabilities of the XSL Tools 
components at the same time.
