Awesome! Wish I could attend :) One suggestion from my experience with Qubes at installfests: it saves lots of time to have a flash drive with Qubes itself installed on it (not the installer, but an installed system) to be able to check hardware support before they touch their disk. Make that install without sys-usb (and no rd.qubes.hide_all_usb boot arg). Also, you should be aware of this outstanding bug [1], to avoid potential data loss. Another suggestion: when I presented about Qubes at a local conference I set up a laptop with no personal data whatsoever which served to showcase the abilities of Qubes and which I was happy to pass around to whoever wanted to try it out themselves, without worrying at all about what they might do to/with it. This first-hand experience alone was enough to convince several hesitant people to make the jump, and they are now running Qubes themselves. That laptop also had a windows 7 VM with the Qubes windows tools installed, and that had some "wow factor" for several people.
