Just to answer Artur's question....I have had to change meeting rooms and transport a whole bulletin board....it worked fine, but then the new room had walls and so on but it was a lot smaller than the old room.
Room change is a nuisance, but in my experience, it is not fatal. In fact it can add. Once in a two day Open Space we changed rooms three times! But by the second time we had the operation down pat. Instead of grumbling about the idiocy of the hotel (which was considerable) we organized a massive parade (300 folks) carrying everything we needed. The fact that we went right through the lobby made something of a point. And by the time we made the third change we had added fifes and drums to the entourage. I can't say the hotel management was pleased, but Open Space was alive and well for sure. And everybody got the point that it is not so much the destinations as the journey which counts. I suppose there was another lesson as well -- it is always all about Spirit. Keep that moving and the practical details seem to fall into place -- or change.
