If you haven't tried a mic close to the speaker's mouth, try it--the result is fantastic compared to a mic even 5 feet away. It makes the room reverb irrelevant, unless a PA system is being used.
We didn't have a mic available this year, unfortunately. I hope to be better prepared next year.
Of course, you sound like you know what you're talking about -- perhaps you should come next year and handle this stuff. Would be nice to take that off my plate -- I'm always so busy between doing presentations, helping folks out, writing code, participating in HackFest (either as a judge or competitor), and so forth, that being able to ditch the video stuff on someone else would be a huge relief!
