Hi Nate,
Unfortunately probably not. The room capacity is 90 with tables or ~150 without \
tables, but that's provided no other events apply for the same slot and end up \
sharing the space (apparently dividing walls can up to quarter it).
Assuming we don't share it - usually Akademy two tracks, it would need to be at least \
divided into two leaving us with two quite small rooms. It also doesn't cover expo \
space, BoF rooms, ... Plus the time slots are all shorter than Akademy is.
It's basically a potentially super-sized sprint venue but not quite Akademy tier.
Cheers,
Eike
