identify the artifacts you plan to design in the next 3 weeks and post to your blog. set realistic goals and prioritize the pieces. in your writing, discuss what interactions are happening that create a need for your particular artifacts. simple example: there is a need for people to make acquaintences so i'm making nametags.
Conference artifacts I plan to create:
-mailer (interaction for attendee to discover the conference and learn more about it, important pre-conference information)
-Schedule of events at conference (almost all interactions will occur AT the conference, thus it is important for attendees to know what all will be happening, and what possible interactions might even throughout the course of a day, ie- lunch, lectures, roundtable discussions)
-name tag (people need to be able to differentiate between workers and attendees to know who to ask questions of, as well as to know potentially who is a lecturer or security. interesting names make for interesting conversation starters)
-web page mockup (person-to-web interactions are very important these days- the web is the key source of information for people these days. The web would make it possible to register for the conference, learn about the event and the people talking, get a map to the conference, etc.)

abby, are these prioritized? if so, i would expect to see that the mailer is fairly substantial in terms of the information it contains. given the short timeframe, i'd say focus on that one large thing and round it out with a few easier things like the name tags and a home page for the website (not that a home page is that easy, but it's only one composition). i'd rather have one major thing done really well where you pay good attention to detail, than have several mediocre things.
