I'm pretty sure that I do not have the grasp of all technical and organization details of this topic, so my comment is limited to the information architecture perspective.
I like the idea of using a stable URL for current/upcoming conference information - a URL that does not change. As far as using subdomains for archived conference information, I personally think it may be overkill. The information from previous conferences that is worth keeping publicly may as well live subfolders, like conference.evergreen-ils.org/2011, conference.evergreen-ils.org/2012, etc. I think there would be less overhead with this approach.
