Well my contribution would simply be: *don't have* a "buzzphrase"!

The conference should be about content, not about window-dressing. If  
that content can stand on its own -- and I think it can, overall --  
then you don't need all the fluff.   It's a bit of an insult to our  
collective intelligence that we need glitz, buzz and spin to hook us  
in. We're not politicians reading a grant proposal, after all...
