Allan,
thanks for your comments. I've never been on the other end of a submission-based event (at TEDxStuttgart, we invite speakers and the amount of occasional free-form suggestions is manageable), so that information is much appreciated.

That the conference scene is crowded, as you say, is actually part of my point: As a new or relatively unknown speaker, an additional "why" field lets me share information so that I can tell the organisers why they should possibly pick me over one of the big names. The amount of submissions can be a problem, I guess, but that's part of what you signed up for when you decided to organise a conference :)

As for conference systems, I see frab being used for more and more conferences in the open source world these days. I have no experience in running it, but as a potential speaker it has everything I expect - including a field for additional notes to send to the organisers.
