I think a Sage Days on algebraic topology would be great. The first things you need to figure out are: * Where and when is it happening? You should think about other conferences in algebraic topology (mostly to avoid conflicts for your audience, but possibly so that people can stay for a Sage Days after another conference). You probably want a lead time of at least 3 months so that people can make plans; the lead time may be longer if you need to secure additional funding. * Ideally you'll be able to cover travel and lodging for your participants. Call hotels near your location to see if they have a group rate. You should estimate how much it will cost to fly people in from various locations, and then determine how many people you can invite depending on your available funds. * Make a list of people to invite, and then ask them to come! * Make sure that you have internet and projection equipment available.
That's all the advice I have for now.
