Any other advice would be appreciated.
Look at the various D&D 4e convention adventures. Not so much for the fantasy genre but the plot structure. The reason is that D&D 4e combat takes the same amount of time as GURPS combat. And there are dozens of adventures covering all kinds of plot.

The typical pattern is

1) The initial roleplaying
2) A combat encounter
3) A roleplaying encoutner
4) A 2nd combat encounter
5) The final roleplaying encounter.

Pretty done and over with within a 4 hour slot.
