This was what I was actually thinking.  I've seen this done at academic 
conferences (e.g., Usenix Security), and it works pretty well.

It does have the downside that people in the middle of each row have a 
harder time getting to a mic, but since people usually know for which 
talks they'll have questions, it seems to work okay in practice.

Also note that it's probably hard for speakers to hear questions as well.
