* Using negotiation to buy "off menu" will save money.
* Make sure that you ask about dietary requirements during registration so that you can accommodate vegan / vegetarian / gluten-free, etc.
* Less than 65% of the attendees ate breakfast at the conference. Each day of the conference, the number of attendees at breakfast declined.
* 97% of the attendees ate lunch at the conference. The number of attendees at lunch was consistent for both days.
* Less than 100 cans of soda were taken during the afternoon break of the first day; 50 cans of soda were taken during the afternoon break of the second day.

* Quiet room? Traditionally we've used the lobby as a de facto quiet room for folks wanting to take a break from the conference, but if there's an actual room that we can dedicate for taking a quiet break from the full blast of the fire hose, that would be great!

* Lanyards for whether it is OK to take photographs
* Add chairs to the front of the room so that lightning talk presenters can sit before they talk
** This is difficult when lightning talk presenters want to do a live demo (TMM)
* Consider live closed captioning software for talks and streaming
** Another option is to have a stenographer or a live transcriber. @brainwane has had experience with a stenographer for one of her talks and it looked like that she was very pleased with the results...
* Twitter feed of #c4lYY on screens when no presenter is up (TMM edited IRC to Twitter because Twitter feed is safer, more professional, and more compliant to code of conduct)
** Twitter is no more CoC compliant than other online venues, including IRC. Each feed has its own risks in being viewed on the big screen (IRC in jokes vs Twitter hijacking of hashtags). (yo_bj)
