[foss4g2014] Setting Conference Pricing

[Kristin Bott]

for TEDxConcordia a year or two ago, they brought in food carts (n=3?) for
the attendees (n=I don't remember, bah)... and the logistics were a bit
rough. Tiny kitchen, lots of demand all within a 45-minute time-window.

Should be fairly solve-able (limited menus, whatever) -- I'm happy to see
if I can track down the TEDx organizers to get a bit of info about how this
all worked on the set-up side? Eh?
