That sounds great.  Why don't we plan to start at 11am, break for lunch for
12:30-1:30, and then continue on til 5?  We have no deadline for getting to
Chicago, beyond "not impossibly late at night" so we should be able to
finish whenever.


As for food, we usually provide a vegetarian option but are there other

That sounds wonderful.  Definitely make sure there's vegetarian options.
 We include a question about dietary restrictions in our sign up survey so
we'll be able to see if there are any more restrictions over the next
couple of weeks.

Great!  People should bring their own computers, so we don't need a lab.
 The room you requested should be fine.
