The geeks over at Kottke.org did some digging on the participants in the conference and found out a few details that hint at what we are looking at for Thursday.

Pamela Conrad is a geobiologist who wrote about life on Mars.
Felisa Wolf-Simon is an oceanographer and has written on photosynthesis using arsenic.
Steven Benner is a biologist that is part of the “Team Titan” program studying the largest moon of Saturn.
James Elser is an ecologist that is part of a NASA-funded program dubbed Follow the Elements.

Take all of those factoids and mix them up and something very interesting emerges. Could NASA be revealing the existence of some sort of life on Titan that uses arsenic for photosynthesis?

Based on this they are probably going to make some sort of revision to their ideas as to which elements are or are not required to sustain life.
and a room full of newsies will all breathe a collective sigh of disappointment.
