1. General points to mention to venues

We expect 300-400 attendees

Many of these are students; moreover the conference is free to all attendees, so we're looking to keep everything as cheap as possible

We'd like to be as close to the Festival period as possible (but going too close will cause us trouble with accommodation etc.)

2. Specific requirements

Needs to have wheelchair access.

We need to be able to set up our own networking:

• Fast (and reliable) external link
• Internal wired and wireless network

We need a main lecture room, hacklabs and small room(s) for BOFs, and an eating area, as close to each other as possible:

• Main lecture theatre: >= 200 capacity

• Hacking area(s): >= 200 capacity. Preferable to have 24 hour access to hacking area.

• BOF room(s): e.g. 40 capacity, more than that will make an ineffective BOF
• Server room (small room with network access)
• Video team room (small room with network access with space for a couple of people to work)
• Area for eating, with appropriate catering arrangements (lunch, dinner)

Needs to be close to accommodation
