This seems like a great open source event for Haiku to be at. Whether 
you can man both a stand and a devroom or notwill really boil down to 
how many devs can attend. Depending on the number of Haiku devs that you 
can get to attend and give presentations, you could fill the devroom two 
days by holding, for example, "installfest" open sessions in addition to 
presentations.
Either case, I have a little experience making a compelling case for 
getting applications accepted, so if you want I volunteer to fill in the 
applications for Haiku. ;)
