If you're looking for all tweets matching a specific hashtag, you'll find
that the Search API won't help you too much after the fact, as it only keeps
results for tweets from the last 10 days or so (besides Search not being a
verbatim representation/search engine for *all* tweets on Twitter).

There are many third party integrations that archive tweets, especially
those associated with a conference (TwapperKeeper for instance:
http://twapperkeeper.com/index.php )

The best way to get all tweets for a conference is by preparing a bit
beforehand and using the Streaming API to track the conference's hashtag,
consuming tweets as they happen.

I've had good luck with TwapperKeeper. When you create an archive, it  
starts up a Streaming data collection and then does a Search to get  
whatever history already exists. So if you start early enough, you'll  
get everything.
