1) Make sure you have power properly balanced. It should be maximum 15Amps per circuit, and you should know who's connecting where. If you do this properly it should never be a problem.
2) Make sure your attendees are properly aware of what to bring and what not to bring. Are you supplying chairs? How long of a network cable do they need to bring? Will you be serving food or not? etc.
3) Make sure you have adequate hardware for your network. For your case it doesn't take too much work to get it going properly. Avoid hubs at all costs, make sure you are using switches. A standard router should work fine for you as long as someone isn't choking your upload limits.
4) Setup your area efficiently and before the event begins. It's a pain to continue setting up an event while guests arrive, and usually does not leave a good impression. Make sure you have garbage bins (with bags) and recycle bins readily available and placed at convenient locations. This will help your cleanup a lot.
5) Make sure your guests know any rules that there may be before the event happens. Do they need to clean up after themselves? Do they have to smoke outside? Etc.
