It's slang for the discussions that occur outside the actual 
presentation area, such as the lobby, bar, restaurant, pool-side, or 
wherever geeks gather.

My idea of a good conf is when the talks are short and disperse just 
enough info and ideas to trigger such extended discussions.  A good 
hallway track is a sign of a good conference, and it's one of the things 
that makes me keep coming to RubyConf.
