As a former organizer for many similar events... I can only testify:
The comparison between them and DebConf is possible, but DebConf is
many times more complex than any other conference I have set up. Of
course, your experience will be of great help.
Now, do you expect to join in with the organization of DebConf13 in
Switzerland? Being a team member will give you immense insight on the
process. We do not consider it a *strong* requirement (one of the
Debian mantras is that you cannot force anybody to volunteer their
time), but an important one.
