Hi,

I have been advised, and assume that a venue that can hold ~2000 people for
the last two days is needed. For the first two that venue or another with
smaller breakaway rooms of various sizes are need.

One should also keep in mind that good bandwidth (at least by African
standards) is  required, as well as the infrastructure to support it.

regards,

Alan
