Wow - that is a huge win! (Ask me in about a year how dealing with finding wedding sites gave me vexing flashbacks to finding event sites...)
What you describe was mostly what I was envisioning. It makes me think - the last couple of times I've been to a small event, it was mostly schmoozing and hanging out with people I liked very much, and each time I thought, "if I were new here, I would last 30 minutes." I don't have good ideas that flow from that - I left the chatelaine post for a reason - but I still think about it a lot. We have great systems for people who already know each other.
(I like all those things except liverwurst. Euw. ;)
