Saying "we'll figure it out as we go along" may be enough for the regular attendees, but I wouldn't expect many new people, users or developers, to spend the time and money based on that vague description. I don't think ordinary users are likely to attend unless the conference happens to be in their hometown, but some of the regular non-developer volunteers might. I, for one, would be very interested in is a session for AppDB admins and maintainers.
