    This was what I was actually thinking.  I've seen this done at
    academic conferences (e.g., Usenix Security), and it works pretty
    well.<br>
    <br>
    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.<br>
    <br>
    Also note that it's probably hard for speakers to hear questions as
    well.<br>
