I think it depends on the size of the event. For conferences with a limited number of parallel tracks this may be suitable, however, if you have several tracks and a unsynchronized schedule, there is the chance of very few people showing up. So if you plan a wrap-up, think of some real news for the attendees and spread that word. There are pros and cons for a wrap-up session. I think it depends on the size of the event.

I really like the article about bags. Organzing conferences involves lots of things that can be deduced from best practice or common sense, but the sheer amount of things you have to think of and keep in mind will inevitably lead to lots of details that are forgotten. So writing down even the most obvious tasks will be very helpful. So thanks again, I will try to spread the word. Hi Jochen, thanks for pointing me to this blog at Linux Tag.
