"So why don't we..."

We have no experience with crowd management. We don't have the spare people to make sure that the social predictions you're trying to make work correctly with people in line.

I am tasked with making the AV work correctly for this event, which has become "interface with the venue operator", so I already have no control.

Trying to get me to make you a plan for crowd behavior is outside of my area of expertise, and a distracting from tasks I'm already wigged out about.

I've done multiple professional events AV.. Assume nothing is from the century and that everything will break.

And why my 2nd bag has a small projector, boom box, cloth screen zip ties and an extension cord.

Did a Caribbean utilities conference years ago where my little projector was the only one that would work with HDMI...

But most important: Good dry erase markers and whiteboard cleaner.. and the knowledge that windows work pretty well in a pinch.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
