We can invent a hashtag for the event, project the feed for that hashtag onto the wall, and delegate someone to watch the feed and raise issues which come in from outside.  And of course tweet like mad from the meeting, so that everyone "outside" knows what we are discussing.

Mia and I have discussed the following items for inclusion, but we would really welcome your thoughts, comments and suggestions on what we need to cover (bearing in mind that we have one day, and possibly the previous evening in the pub!). Please either share your views on the following on-list or drop me a line off-list if you're more comfortable with that.
