Committee
This is the organizing committee for the conference. Diffusion of responsibility happens naturally when no one in particular is assigned to a given task.
A couple of roles that need to exist:
- Chair
- The person making sure everything is proceeding in a timely manner
 
 - Ops
- Tracking down vendors, placing orders, getting information from people
 
 - Sponsors
- Let's get that money
 
 - On the ground (OTG)
- See the venue
 - Recruit local volunteers
 - Find local food recommendations
