Aside from abolishing it? ;)
Less useless speakers and other wastes of time and more time for business. Real business like trimming the fat off the conference budget thereby reducing our outrageous apportionment totals.
I'd like to know how much we dole out for Bishops to send us all letters on that fancy paper :-)
I would have a worship service at the beginning and the end. Take out all the ones in between. That would leave time for training by someone like Adam Hamilton or Kerby John Caldwell. Clergy and lay people need to hear the same things. Lay people need to hear what should be expected of clergy and vica versa. Then I would allow no more than ten minutes of discussion about apportionments. In our AC that is the number one value. Making disciples must be number one and therefore I would require at least five hours of discussion on that.
A better use of the Committee system with better deliberations including input from non-committee members and recommendations in committee versus floor debate.
Congress and state legislatures get much more done with a responsible committee system, than democratic structures that rely so much on floor debates in considering issues such as Italy and similar democracies.
Sometimes I think it would be good if we actually debated things at AC. Too often we stick to the 3 for, 3 against, 3min each rules and no real meaningful information or discussion comes out of it. Why not just spend some time conferring instead of subjecting everyone to endless committee reports and recognizing everyone in the room?
