Carl,
One of the strengths of the past conferences has been the structure and its emphasis on education.
Complete presentations were prepared ahead of time by selected speakers. In some cases, a panel of speakers had been established to offer multiple views upon a chosen topic or theme.
If you were to arrange a webinar. I would think that its success would depend on taking a similar structured approach, as opposed to a free for all exchange of ideas and experiences.
Perhaps a presentation submission process whereby anyone could offer to present, and proposed presentations could be selected by popularity in the form of a group vote prior to the actual webinar.
Another key success factor, in my view, would be presenter familiarity with the webinar software. Nothing kills a presentation faster than a presenter fumbling about with the tool, completely detracting from the topic of interest.
If you choose to investigate further, you might want to compare notes with Jerry. He began a similar thread a short while back:
