Design Work
A little of chunk of the conference is the branding across all of the materials. Unless you have a sole designer, this can be a mountain load of work. If you have an in-house person designing when they are not a designer and they don’t know the specs and resources, this a bad use of their time.
When your hire people who have all the resources and will coordinate and deliver final goods to you, you will save time, hassle and likely - money too.
Think of all the items and signage required for your conference. Here are a few top items:

Do you want to manage and coordatine all of the vendors?
I don’t think so. There are intertwining deadlines, formats, locations and details that can drive the non-designer, non-coordinator- Crazy!
We have great quality resources, which are green and inexpensive. If the results with us our higher quality, green and cost the same or less, why would you tax your employees?
