It is simple. You prepare your key in advance and keep it in a well 
secured place. You bring your key fingerprint with you. The key itself 
should not be moved to an insecure environment.

Then during the conference there's a key signing party where

- everoyne gets a list of the key fingerprints of the keys to sign and 
the names of the owners

- all key owners are asked, whether their key fingerprint is ok

- the other people check your identity and later will sign your key.

The event itself will be announced during the conference as "key 
signing" and then you can send an email containing your key fingerprint 
to the organizer of the key signing, who compiles a list of them and 
print hard copies for the event.
