After some serious development, we have finished a stable version of the conference schedule page. It can be viewed here and contains the following killer features - the ability for events to span entire columns and take up multiple rows, functionality to let users elect to attend or not attende certain events (with cool javascript color changes), and a tabs display to allow quick browsing of different days of events.

This was accomplished by using a custom view (with fields for event start time, end time, location, and track) pushed through a views plugin that is based off the work that torelad did for his 2 Axis Grid plugin. The code was modified to deal with the specific use case of a conference schedule (requiring data points on both the start and the end time, as well as the conference track) and contains some cool integration with the rest of the COD.
