Let me try and ask this again, with less ambiguity:

What built-in CMS functionality or plugin have you used to assist you in managing a conference schedule and registration?

Among other things, I'm in the market for a new CMS. So rather than the specialized tool that Francis suggested, I'm looking for a multi-purpose platform or a platform I can wrangle to serve multiple purposes.

P.S. Confusingly, I switched my CODE4LIB subscription to a different email.
