That arrival interview is of the essence: the purpose of the conference is to find out who people are and enable them to contribute their skill and knowledge now and afterwards. How many conferences and meetings have we all attended in which the methodology said, more loudly than anything else, that the purpose of the event was to program people as if they were machines? And that the organizers know best what needs to be done and how to do it.
