Certainly not.  But maybe in the hospitality room the first night, just to
meet a couple of people.

Absolutely.  I think that's VERY important.

Yes, but I think this is more on a socializing level rather than really
needing "help" with something.  It's making people feel welcome and
included.  Maybe just finding someone to go to lunch or breakfast with.

Yep.  They can be our "welcome wagon" folk.<g>

Good point.  Make another note!  Remember to include this info in opening
remarks!<g>  The problem is that opening remarks don't happen until just
before the talks on Friday night.  Many attendees have already been there
for 24 hours at that point.  Maybe some signs in the hospitality suite?  I
don't know, other ideas?
