There are no specific rule or recommendation, usually @foss4g it is just a
redirect to another email addresses

LOC has to choose their system. Some loc used pretix (self installed or as
service), for 2022 we used the PCO system

Yes of course you can use osgeo booth, during closing session you will have
dedicated time to introduce 2026 edition (usually with a video, but you can
have a presentation, as you prefer)
