Speaking of maps, can we get a redacted (no names) list of locations
of attendees to make a map of where everyone is coming from?

Metro's RLIS data could be a good source; maybe streets, public transit, and (very subtle) building footprints as a base with locations of interest clearly marked. I doubt all the restaurants / food carts will fit (certainly not with labels) but perhaps they could be symbolized. I'll give it a shot and send out something in the next few days.
