Thanks!

The "Followees" feature is going to be key in avoiding the twitter hashtag spam. Basically, you add people on twitter who are actually attending the event... and their posts are highlighted in yellow. You can also see only followee posts with the button at the top.

I was testing Google I/O last week with 50-60 followees and it really cut through the spam and all the "I wish I were at Google I/O!!!!" posts.

I'll be at WWDC next week and I'm hoping that the big Keynote will be a good test for the system.
