Reverse Panel Discussion - is your space having an issue you need help
resolving, as the audience which will be as close to experts as you're
going to get concerning hackerspaces.
Hackerspace Xchange - a swap meet for resources your space might have
an excess of.  This is your opportunity to trade those excess gadgets
and gizmos for interesting and useful things.
Lightning talks - take a few minutes to cover a topic you think
everyone else would be interested in.
On site camping!

hackerspace, what happens when a few hackerspaces get together?
