| Notes | This location is on the show floor, adjacent to booths, so visibility is high, there is some ambient noise from booth traffic, and attendees may come and go. | This location is in a meeting room, so a closed setting where better acoustics and lighting are more conducive to a private education session or data/visuals heavy sessions. |
