I'd add that conferences should be looking very hard at the value they can add outside of the main conference track. These days any topic of broad interest that's planned months in advance is going to have loads of information published online. The two ways that I've seen conferences add value outside of the main track are to add unconference sections that allow for nichier or more current information that isn't well documented or put a focus on professional networking.
