If we do the conference in the fancy venue, people will have to get the bus
twice at day. This means big changes of temperature from a nice place inside
with air to the hell outside. Specially at the lunch time this means queuing
outside at the time when it is more hot.
No need to say those quick changes of temperature are usually awful for
people's health.
About the "portable" air, we will have to include them in our needed power
supply, they do consume a lot. And they might need some extra maintainance
if we are planning to use them for almost 2 weeks.
