Description

We could really use a more spacious hall this year!

For the last few meetings, we have requested a large enough space for about 50 attendees. Often we're given a room that can seat exactly 50 attendees. When backpack-wearing and coffee-toting folks try to file into the rows between the classroom-style desks brimming with open laptops, it's a dangerous situation at best. Last year, when refreshments came, there wasn't enough room for more than one or two people to access the refreshments at a time because the room was so dense:

Knowing that this happens often, who can we talk to at AAS?
