Replying to this question with more detail now.

For regular days without plenaries we would need something like:
- big room 120-150 seats
- medium room: 80-100 seats
- small room: 40-50 seats
The room configuration that seems to get closer to this is:
- merge 327 with 328 as our big room (pdf says 168 seats as auditorium)
- keep 329 as it is, so it is our small room (pdf says 40 seats as auditorium)
- rent 298 or 294 as medium room. Room 298 as "auditorium" fits 80 and room 294
fits 100. They're both listed with the same price, so I'd go for the bigger one
if available.
Do you need something else from the talks team?
