Installfests are nice because if you have enough people involved you can 
really make sure new users get there systems set up correctly and go home 
running.

Also I have found that most older installes sometimes get messed up over the 
years of uptime.  Installfests also provide a great time for older users to 
refresh there systems with new X, gcc or other libs that are sometimes 
painful to upgrade.
