A venue

edit

Venue team leader: User:Tango

Requirements: Our venue(s) must be able to accommodate at least 500 people in its largest room, though 700+ is desirable. It/they must have at least two rooms capable of accommodating 150-200 and 4 or so smaller rooms accommodating around 50. It/they must have social spaces and catering facilities. Ideally we want a single venue capable of providing all of this, but multiple buildings may be tolerable if they are sufficiently close. All lecture theatres should be suitable for projections and we must be able to arrange blanket wireless coverage over the entire building(s).
