Personally, I think the two most promising themes would be 1) urban 
accessibility mapping enabled by open transit data (crossover with the 
Open Cities interest group see 
http://opentripplanner.com/2012/07/visualizing-urban-accessibility-with-opentripplanner-analyst/#.UD1djoogc24)

and as Stefan mentions 2) a crash-course technical session for people 
who want to apply/adapt OTP to their region or contribute code to the 
project.

While OTP does support custom fare modules, this is not necessarily our 
most conference-worthy point.
