I'd recommend hosting your room with another 3 or 4 people (or even more).

1.) Many hands make light work. Prepping is the key, as has been stated, and it's a lot easier with several folks.
2.) Costs are more spread out.
3.) More people get to have the wonderful feeling of having co-hosted a Crawl room ("Yeah, the Norwegian Spelunking Room was mine!")
4.) The biggest benefit: your being able to slip away to quickly check out the other rooms. They're so dang cool (like yours!), you won't want to have missed them.

When everything looks great/in control and you've got the rhythm going, 1 or 2 of you slip out and check out a room or two. Come back and let the next 1 or 2 see a bit. Repeat.
I suspect this doesn't work if you're at a really big event (wonderful Tiki Oasis is so popular now, I don't think the hosts could get into other rooms and back very quickly), but at smaller events you can still do this if you're so inclined.

Decor: anything you can make at home, disassemble, and re-assemble at the event is a huge plus, if you're within driving distance. Some enterprising folks even mail their decor ahead of time.
Anybody want to talk about what you've used to hang stuff on walls (so as not to harm hotel rooms......very much)?
