Storyboard: Making the most of the event (Massively)
...But as someone who has organized events and watched others do the same, I can declare that you don't want to decide what's happening past the initial framework. You're throwing people together to give them a chance at character development and dynamic occurences. It's not just to window-dress your ego, at least not if the event you're hosting is any good. Being polite is worse than useless if you're actually taking away from the overall atmosphere because you don't want to speak.
As a whole, we roleplayers seem to be really good at reacting to things in-character. We don't seem to be quite so good at acting in character, at just doing something. That's poison to an event at which the whole goal is to enjoy yourself and throw a lot of people in the mix to play off one another.
