Hi James!
I'm not an expert in electric installations, but it's true that there are both 2-pronged and 3-pronged sockets. Both of them are common and safety regulations recommend the latter for obvious reasons, but you can fit a type A into a type B socket without troubles. In any case, find an adapter for type B sockets and if you need to connect to a type A, the extra adapter is available in any small electronics shop and is very cheap (around 10 MXN or less than 1 USD)

I've seen a couple different sites talking about just the A socket (same as a US 2 prong) and some saying the B socket as well (US 3 prong, the 2 prong with a round grounding pole). Is the 3 prong relatively common as well or should we carry around 2 prong to 3 prong adapters if we have things that need it?

My recommendation is to bring an adapter and a power strip, so you can share with people using the same socket.
If everyone did that power diustribution would be much easier.
Mark both the adapter and the strip as yours.

Hi Amir, that's the type of sockets but you need to bring your own
adapter.

Hey, It seems Mexico uses type A sockets [1] Do we need to buy adapter or It's provided in the venue?
