I would suggest to the Usenix people that they play up Alan's absence.
A strtegically placed empty chair. A quiet room, "Alan's room", with no
activity, maybe only some flyers and information about Dmitri.

Hey, while they're at it, maybe there should be a chair for Dmitri too.
Under DMCA there will be more empty chairs next time around.

The "absent hero" is a tried and true dramatic device for getting a
point across quietly yet forcefully.
