Your Mixer session reminded me of a couple of panels at one of the Fandomedia conventions (yay Ju!). One was roughly: get 3 minutes to speak about your favourite book, and what's great about it. The other was roughly: get three minutes to talk about one of your obsessions. The rules weren't enforced strictly, but they were still useful. I'm not sure if everyone there was supposed to speak, but lots did, and I loved the huge amount of variety in both panels. I also found it easier to get going myself without having to push for room to speak. More panels like that would be great.
That doesn't sound quite like what you were describing. When you were talking about selling ideas they are trying to get off the ground, what sort of ideasa did you mean? Ideas for events or activities that other people could participate in at the convention, or out of the convention, that sort of thing?
