I think this an outstanding idea.   I could forsee a couple of Kiosk 
displays set up in common areas that would play short videos on Code4Lib 
subjects during the open time slots or perhaps during the breaks.  For 
conferences that I have been involved in the planning on we have tried 
to schedule breaks between formal presentation time slots that are a bit 
longer than what it takes to get a quick cup of  copy (we also have 
multiple current sessions) to provide some networking time and allow 
participants to demo something on one of the kiosk machines.

What would make the virtual lightning talks really interesting is if one 
could pre-schedule some short webinars during break time slots that 
would allow the presenters, on site participants, and remote viewers to 
participate at the same time.
