A combination of well indexed CD, html/web site and a limited paper text run 
(preferred type requested in advance, perhaps with registration?) could 
certainly cut costs yet make the information available to all.  The 
presentation of full-page abstracts might fill the bill for the printed 
texts...
As to actual format, PDF vs Word vs whatever else may arise - 4 years is a 
long time in the technology field - I suggest that those charged with the 
decisions wait at least 2 or 3 before deciding .  
Example: just how many Power Point presentations were there in 96?
