Space requirements for 400?

[Jeff Aitken]

Just to clarify, the three circles for 380 did not fill up the ballroom by
any means -- there was plenty of room. A high school basketball court might
just work, depending on how much of an oval shape you have to make -- I
like Joelle's suggestion to try it.

Doug, I've set up three concentric circles which held 380 people, in a
ballroom probably the size Chris is describing.

There was a picture window view of the morning's fresh snowfall, and I made
the mistake of joking about the "law of two skis" -- so that we only had
125 people use the breakout spaces. Everyone else hit the slopes (it was
one day of OST, on the second day of a four day conference. Another
mistake.) I think we had reserved 20-25 breakout rooms.
