To add to Asaf ' s list of "don'ts" can I suggest for future Wikimanias:
DON'T rely on buses to make round trips to get to venues
DON'T try to squeeze the whole attendance of the event through one revolving door to a venue
DON'T advertise "food and drink " when you mean a glass of fruit juice and finger food
DON'T hold the group photo at a venue away from the main conference
DON'T have music so loud it obliterates conversation
According to a volunteer at the registration desk just now, three buses leave at 7:00, drop people at the museum, and then come back to pick up the rest. I think this means:
1. DON'T assume the bus won't leave BEFORE 7:30, or at 7:30.
2. DON'T assume there will be room on the later trip if too many people choose that instead of the earlier trip.
In other words, to ensure you make it to the museum with the buses, you should probably be at the lobby at 7:00 and STAY there if you don't get on the first trip, so that you don't miss the second one.
