I may be too late for your conference, but hopefully this will help in the future.
First, you'll want to make a multi output device in the Audio Midi Setup app. Launch the app, find and activate the "Create New Device" menu button, choose "multi-output device" from the menu, and a new device will be placed in the devices table near the top of the window. Select that device, then find the unlabeled table further along. This table lists all the output devices on the computer; check the box next to all the ones you want to use and that should be it. You can now switch to that device (remember to set VoiceOver however you need to so you'll still have speech, or leave a display connected). As to quickly switching, I imagine there's a utility for that, possibly on MacUpdate.com. If not, AppleScript may be able to do the job, though I've never looked into that possibility.
