I'd suggest cap at 1,000 words, and put all the papers in a wiki before the conference, with people allowed and encouraged to edit them, and conference speakers encouraged to participate in the editing process and respond to the edits/questions during their presentation. (If particularly good editing processes happen, could convert it to a panel and invite the editors!)
