What I did, and still do, is this: I used two programs to backup my text messages on my Android phone, one that emails the text messages to my gmail account, one that backs up the messages as an .xml file, which I painstakingly converted to a excel spreadsheet. If you don't have a smartphone, write it down like Mess pointed out.

Depending on your phone capabilities, try to export your texts to an email that will show the originating numbers. This alone isn't proof, but stay with me...
Or, just type them out. Leave them on the phone.
Take the phone and the transcript to a notary. Have the notary examine the phone. Also bring your cell phone bill from those dates and verify that texts were sent to that number at those times.
Get the notary to swear that your transcripts are true and accurate.
Attach the transcripts to an affidavit swearing that these conversations took place.

My understanding is that the settlement conference is about making an offer to settle your issues, so you should do just that: provide a detailed plan in the best interest of the children.
Leave the defence of accusations out, except to say they can/will be dealt with at more appropriate stage of litigation if necessary.

Providing Conversation History to Courts at Brief?
I have a settlement conference coming up fairly soon and it seems to be getting a bit out of hand. My ex has exaggerated and fabricated many things in her paperwork in an attempt to gain custody of the Children.
Examples would be:
I make no effort to communicate with her
I failed to seek medical when my son was injured
