Davis auditorium holds about 200 persons. Interschool Lab is the other
room, I'm guessing it holds about 50. Those are the 2 rooms videoteam
plans to cover.
Additionally there is a smaller room directly adjacent to Davis that
would work for BoFs, working sessions, demonstrations, etc, but
videoteam can't promise coverage there. Perhaps that should be left for
adhoc events that come later.

Yes, see above.

I'm glad this came up as I've been forgetting to ask for many days
running now if any plans have been made, yet.

The smaller room (414, i think) on the same room as Davis auditorium
might be ideal for such events. Typically there are events that people
think up during the course of the conference.
