Tom Robb asked how we can systematize that. If the machines are used for PCIs, pods might not work well. We have to keep in mind that the setup needs to work for PCIs. Someone suggested islands of tables with four facing out. Adelaide Parsons suggested that the EV should be located in the Exhibitors area.
Possible problems are acoustics and different access hours.
We could send people over to the publishers. If we can't get something to work, we can get the publishers. If we are moved into the Exhibitors' area, we would need partitions and separate access points. Pods might put people too close together during fairs. Another plus about being in the Exhbitors' area is that we might develop some consistency with our location.
