Hi Christian, Andrea, et al

Just to add here, Christian's right, in that it would be good to make
some decisions on what you want to do (serve up via the web) now, before
how, let alone 'with what tool'.

While for no particular reason, here BTW, is a conference site with
schedules, blogs, announcements, video archive, pretty much the whole
laundry list of what might come to mind, quickly - and the web developer
used SilverStripe:

Best wishes,
