Here's a template I've made for planning a local LaidOffCamp. The general format for the event is an unconference from 10am - 5pm with different sessions in 2-5 rooms, lasting 30-60 minutes that are determined at the event.
The list of everyone who emailed saying they're interested in helping out with LaidOffCamp Chicago is here:

I'm a financial advisor and I am interested in assisting those laid off in making smart decisions regarding their 401K, Cobra and other options, life insurance, and disability insurance. I can also offer assistance to those who are choosing the entreprenurial route by providing information on business financial planning and business benefits.
