Chris Tyler probably knows the most about what A/V support we'll have
available, so I'll defer to him for this one.

Absolutely.  List it on the wiki page for now, and I'll mark it
appropriately.  My leaning is toward reserving the small auditorium
for the day for pre-set talks and panels (with possibly one additional
room if we pre-set that many).

We have a computer projector in each room already.  I can't think of
anything you'd need beyond mic-ing, but that's probably a failing on
my part rather than a sign that it's all under control. ;-)
