</SPAN></FONT><FONT SIZE="2"><FONT FACE="Monaco, Courier New"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:10.0px'>Dear Christine,<BR>
thats about 10 000 square meters (only a small part of the world thinks <BR>
in feet) and comparing that to the approximately 3000 squaremeters we <BR>
had for the event with 2108 in Germany (you will definitely break the <BR>
record!!)your space would hold about 5000 people.<BR>
Our space was 70 by 40 meters, not exactly square, yours is 150 by <BR>
70...very similar in shape...you do have to consider that the inner <BR>
circles can be real perfect circles but as you add more circles they <BR>
turn more and more into ovals...or you just add half circles at the long <BR>
ends of the the room.<BR>
For the 2108 people we had 10 or 12 concentric circles (people sitting <BR>
on small pillows...the firedepartment would not permit chairs unless <BR>
they are bolted to the floor)...that made it real easy to create <BR>
breakout spaces throughout the large room (marked by gas filled ballons <BR>
that were attached to small bags filled with sand, the balloons bearing <BR>
the breakout space number, we had 70 spaces...for the closing circle <BR>
participants pitched in creating the circles again...<BR>
Seems that for 7,000 people you need a space about 1,5 the size you have <BR>
now. Or, calculating for huge crowds, you might think of 1,5 square <BR>
meters per person<BR>
wish you lots of work, which, if it is really work, is pure fun<BR>
Greetings from Berlin<BR>
