Hi Everyone,
 
Please refer to email below from Victoria, Canada.  Quite a different
number to our estimate, do we need to look at an exhibition space closer
to this size?
 
Regards

Hi Marie-Claire, 

Thanks for your email. I'm not at work anymore, but I will try and give
you as much information as I remember.
I'm also copying Amy Pecorelli, who is my replacement at the moment, so
she may be able to help you with any
details I can't recall.

There were lots of booths for the tradeshow, I think about 50. Amy can
confirm the number for you. We used our
entire hall for the booths and there was also an internet cafe as well.
All the meals and breaks were located in the
tradeshow area. It was a big part of the conference. Our hall is 14,000
square ft.

They used all of our breakout rooms and used them to the max as well.
Amy could send you the diagrams of the 
rooms as they had very specific setups for all the computer rooms. They
have various different capacities, but the
diagrams that I created have all the specs on each of them (Amy they are
located in ebms in the folder and are all
the diagrams without the gridlines on them, with all the spec written on
them.)

The birds of a feather sessions were located in all of the breakout
rooms at the end of each day.

The group used our entire centre for their conference (40,000 sq. ft)
and they used every last inch. There were over
600 people in attendance in the end and the space was a good fit for
them.

Thanks and hope this info helps!
Angela
