I wouldn't put in the 100; I think 30 talks with 7 tracks, and then on 
top of that lightning talks and BoFs, is impressive enough.
Possibly saying something about the 3 parallel session program would be
nice.

Oh, and we didn't count the 2 keynotes in the 30+ figure, so I think we can
reach 'more than 35' :)
