If it works for everyone, DataStax has some resources we could put to this effort. We do large scale conferences like this all the time and have the tools to pull it off. It would be a small group of people with full duplex audio and video with the ability for 100s of people to watch in streaming. As Scott mentioned, a recording could be made available after the fact for anyone that wanted to review and historical purposes.
If we go this route, I would suggest using the ASF Cassandra slack for people posting questions. 1) It gets more people on slack 2) It's more or less a permanent, searchable record.
