We did look at the PloneConf sites, as well as other conference sites, 
in addition to our own experience of organizing a few large community 
and non-profit events.

As mentioned, the only one we won't cover for the initial stable 
version is any form of payment and tracking payments. Previously we've 
had to do the painful way of reconciling bank statements/cash receipts 
against a spreadsheet. This is one feature I think quite a lot of 
people probably want.

The other one we can think of is task/checklist management with ready 
template of common tasks you have to do. That's something on the 
wishlist. For now, a page used as a wiki will do.
