Sounds nice, gambatte!

The low level stuff doesnt sound to difficult:
- open wlan that lets anyone join (removes burden of having to enter
a secret for the attendees of the wlan)
- attendees get an ip via dhcp, they start their browser
- one page is available, the attendees could be distinguished by their
ips yet if no name etc. is needed for other purposes
- for interaction one thing comes to mind: there is this idea (havent
seen code for this) of a wiki editable by multiple persons. 
Maybe wouldnt scale over too many people, maybe just some simple 
voting-application would fit more
