During the last two code sprint I participated there structure was
more or less the same and it worked well.
One main room with fixed appointments with general presentation (like
result or ongoing work) and later a room for each project.

I looked at workadventu.re and it seems good, it seems that it can use
different jitsi channels so it could be doable

Maybe you could add some specific talk during the conference, as you
wrote before ("how to participate on a codesprint" or "how to start
contributing
to FOSS" talks) plus some specific lighting talk from project on what
they will work during the code sprint
