I think limiting votes only to people who submit talks would lead to people/companies submitting poor talks just to get a vote (gaming the system). Voting on a random subset of the talks, rather than all seems like a great idea though - I suspect most people flick through for the few talks they know they're interested in, maybe vote for some more from their company, then stop, because there are so many. Giving each voter a choice of half a dozen or a dozen talks to vote on (or rank) could lead to much broader participation.
