I've been involved with a couple conferences before and agree with wholeheartedly with the post. As a conference chair, you’re responsible for delivering on every promise to the attendees and sponsors! Stop and reread that line.

I recently discovered http://www.cockos.com/licecap/ which lets me take screen captures and save them as gifs. Definitely helpful when trying to capture CSS animation bugs.
