I would like to propose that all Main event pages have visible reference links for the different pieces of content (sessions, news, time-slots, etc..). This will clean up the UI and allow users who are not familar with Drupal the ability to add content to the specific event.

Multiple Call for Proposals at the Same time or Overlap
In my use case we run multiple conferences where the call for proposals open at the same time. In this case the default feature doesn't help. Some Drupalcamps have some type of summit the day before with a different schedule where a call for proposals may coincide with the actual drupalcamp.

Entityreference Prepopulate Settings: Hide the OG reference field from all authenticated roles
Hide the OG reference field for authenticated users so that it's not even visible. Currently users can still see the field and may be tempted in changing the field. By moving to to entityreference pre-populate fields you are only referencing things directly from the Main Event content type and not through the user edit forms.

We're already partially doing this with og reference prepopulate, and with some menu callbacks we use to redirect /node/1/event/session/add to /node/add/session?og_group_ref=1 for events that aren't default.

Default event is important for those who really plan on only having one event and wish to have the appearance of simplicity when going directly to /node/add/session or other content which is supposed to be tied to the event. For sites that have more than one event at a time, there should be no default.

I'd suggest possibly renaming this issue to 'Make user-facing links reference current event page' and add a button that shows in the panel that shows up when you land on an event. There was some discussion about this at drupalcon and decided the user-facing buttons could be added on a per-site basis, or included as an option after the beta release. Because frankly, the end-user experience isn't all that great at the moment because there is no session add button yet.

@japerry

figured I would give a try :)

Changed the name of the title as you suggested. Have you already mocked up the Main Event panel layout yet ?
