One suggestion I have for improving this site in the future is making the session podcasts more findable. For instance, in the agenda table, there is a link to the session notes for each session. How about a link also to the corresponding podcast? Perhaps also renaming the link "Agenda" to "Sessions" - it's a more intuitive place to look when you're going back to reflect after the conference, when you're no longer concerned about when things are taking place during the day.
