In the case of our site, someone would have to be willing to take the Wordpress installation, the MySQL databases associated, etc. if they were to be moved to evergreen-ils.org. If you want to point to our conference site with DNS, that's of course no problem.
I don't know that we've discussed internally how long we would keep the site active. I'm sure we don't want to continue to pay for the domain infinitely, but I know the information is important to preserve.

To date most (all?) of the conference hosts have created and hosted their conference websites using using a variety of CMSs. Whether a given CMS (or a static version of it) will play well in a subfolder no doubt also varies. There is no particular cost to using subdomains -- it's easy to update DNS for evergreen-ils.org.
