Regarding what we need - typically, in past years, this has been: at least one major lecture theatre/hall for keynotes and plenaries (ie for all conference participants), one slightly smaller one (ie 200 ppl), and three or four smaller again (50-80 ppl) - though it is not a problem to have slightly too much space ;-).
Hmm, let me slightly correct that - there are usually five sessions happening simultaneously, with keynotes taking up a whole time block for themselves (ie no other sessions at the same time). So, for conference sessions, we'll need (at least): one keynote space (5/600 ppl), *two* slightly smaller spaces (2/300), and three smaller again (50-80).
