To misquote somebody (Disraeli or Mark Twain): you can run some of the train lines all of the time, and all of the train lines some of the time, but you can't run all of the train lines all of the time. The new night services start in London from September 12th 2015.
So the plan is that the entire Victoria and Jubilee lines will run for 24 hours, covering Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. other lines the busiest parts of the lines may operate, but not necessarily further stations and branches of the line.
If you previously used late night buses, you now have an alternative route, and also in some places and times the train route can cut your journey time by up to twenty minutes.
If you still need to take a taxi part of the way, your taxi fare could be cheaper.
That's good news if you are at a conference such as the World Travel Market and want to attend a weekend dinner or stay in London for a late meeting the weekend before or the weekend after the midweek conference and still have time to get home to the suburbs.
If you plan to come to London over Christmas and New Year, the late night buses and trains could also be useful to you. The bus map is already online. You could print out your own copy. Nearer the time I expect they will print out the maps and distribute them at the relevant stations, or at all stations so that you can plan your travel and also restaurant and hotel bookings which will be near the lat night lines, to be sure your meeting venues and sleeping venues are either your starting point or ending point.
If you are arranging a conference, restaurant meal, or accommodation for staff, guests, friends or family, you might wish to pick a venue on the line or to give your guests the information.
If you are looking for a job such as in a hotel or restaurant and willing to work late you might find opportunities. If you a hotel or restaurant owner, or are in marketing, advertising or web design you might need to update your existing ads and websites, or to use the new line as a selling point or excuse for a seasonal offer or celebration.

You might also like to note the new uniforms:
I shall have to see them to form an opinion. I like blue. I also like the jolly red and orange ties, and the more discreet and elegant blue ties.
