I've organized a lot of conferences small and large. The very best,
and least hassle, was a ZeroMQ unconf we did in Portland. All we need
is a large room and people. Here's how it works:

- anyone can speak
- there's a queue of speakers (a row of chairs)
- a speaker gets 15 minutes (you could cut this to 5 minutes if you
wanted to be brutal) to give the short story
- the audience votes by IRC +1 if they want to hear more
- the speaker gets additional 5 minute slots until the moderator gets bored
- it's all recorded on video and published

No registration, no organization except technical (room, WiFi, food &
drink, video). Some funding or sponsorship for the room, usually.

I'd be happy to organize something like this in Brussels.
