I can commit to bringing one pair of powered PA speakers if that would
help. I don't know the exact make or wattage offhand, but they're
standard PA speakers like you would use for vocals in a band.

please bring, but low priority, feel free to not bring them.

We may not have any PA system when we are setting up the rooms, so they will be used to make sure things are working.

We may use them in the server room to play one of steams so we can A) monitor the quality and B) hear an interesting talk.

And it is super nice to have something like that hand for unexpected events.

But none of these are critical, thus no one will cry if they don't show up.
