Honestly, right now it's just hard. I have plenty of conferences that I would love to attend, but my organization won't pay for any travel at all. I've encountered a couple that are offering webcasts of sessions at a discounted price, and my org. will often allow that - it's the travel piece that they won't pay for. So, if webcasting sessions is an option, that might be a way to up attendance. Especially if you can make it so people can just pay for the sessions they want to attend.
I've used this program with some of my users on a large network volume that they needed to do keyword searches on. The initial index build takes time (although not days), but subsequent updates are fast, and searching is super-fast. You can tell it what file types to index, too, which is nice. Everyone I've installed it for loves it, even though we have enterprise content management - they just find this easier to use and faster.
