Hi David,
There will be a number of rooms available. Wikimedia NYC can propose
sessions and reserve space on the day of the event. There will be between
six and eight open sessions (in each room) during the course of the day.

Hello Wikimedia NYC!
I'm writing because someone from your group expressed interest in
participating in the upcoming Open Everything NYC event. I'd like to
invite
you all to attend, the full details are below.
Furthermore, if you like
the
idea, please feel free to pass this email on to
others. If you're a
blogger,
a short post to help get the word out about the
event would be very
helpful
(send me a link to your post so we can link back
to you).
I look forward to seeing you at the event!
