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>
