I think that scheduling a conference on Twitter is a bad idea (there. I've said it). Why? Well, while "According to Dave Ferguson, Twitter chats are no different than the business conference cocktail houra prime time for networking," my own experience is, when I say something at the conference, it isn't sent out to 2000+ people who may or may not be interested in this particular conversation. I think, if you're going to have a conversation with a particular subgroup, use a system specific to that subgroup, and when you use Twitter, remember that the message goes to all of your followers, not just the particular clique you are hanging out with today.
