From the sound of it, you're envisaging advisors and recruiters who assist the one scheduler, rather than the actual stream-runners that GenghisCon has.
My comment about the final week relates to the final confirmation of all of the panellists / game runners / etc (and the last-minute changes that can entail). If there is only one scheduler, who handles all of those confirmations and re-juggles themselves, then no, that's no harder.
I think this has a lot of merit. Timetabling is a "too many cooks" job, and recruiting is a "the more the merrier" job.
This probably doesn't need to be a formal arrangement - the programmer can have deputies who do all this stuff without being committee members, if they want.
