Since this will by my first year attending ISWC, please don't flame me if my perspective is off. The thing I most want to see is the wearables people have built. The "gadget show" is great and should be kept unchanged. It would be nice, though, to also have more hacker oriented stuff. Technical solutions to building wearables now, kind of stuff. Someone doing a tutorial on using PC/104 (specifically) for wearables. Wearable battery systems: what kinds of batteries and how to manage charging them... that kind of stuff. The videos of previous conferences show scientific research type results and papers and that is great. I want to see that kind of stuff too... but the recognition that there is a hacker community out there that is growing and is looking at things with a little bit more of a short term view would be good. Again, this isn't a criticism- I haven't been before- but speculation on how I'd like to see the conference deviate from most industry conferences.
