Organizing Large Key-Signing Events?

FooBarBaz asks: "I'll probably be organizing a quite large (read ~ 300+ people) PGP/GnuPG-Key-Signing-Event. Everyone suspiciously eyeing each others ID and reading fingerprints to everyone else is quite out of the question with such numbers. How would you organize something like that and still be able to select 'I have checked very carefully' when GPG asks?"

    But you're right, there ought to be a little bit more granularity in the trust specfications.

    [Reminds me of when my brother in law sent me a Power of Attorney so I could act in his behalf for his minor son.

    I didn't tell him that I was thereby enabled to do a lot financial transactions on his behalf, sell his house, etc.]

    They need a few more questions, like:

    "I'd trust Alice with a loaded gun pointed at me after she's had 8 drinks and I rear-ended her new car."
