Some of the things that we would like to do include:

• Once talks are confirmed, do interviews with some of the speakers to get people curious about what's going on.
• Do spotlights on some of the things we're doing at the conference. Feature things like:
  • What are sprints?
  • What are lightning talks?
  • What are open spaces?
