I literally walked into my conference room chairs and table at the
local version of the Goodwill -- they were offloading them from a
truck and had just picked them up. They also had some desks and so
forth in the truck. The woman who runs the place was mumbling to
herself about it. So I asked

Funny, and well said. Serendipity happens, but it happens more often when

Neat! I like the square peg approach! We also rotate art exhibitions
regularly, and had similar concerns about the walls. When we were
getting ThincSavannah ready for our first art show this past
September, we decided to go with AS Hanging Systems (ashanging.com).

Hi Richard,
There's many, many threads on this topic in the group, I'd go ahead and give
it (and the blog!) a search and come back with some more specific questions
if you have them once you've done some research within the existing
conversations that've taken place.

Doing it well might be logistically very difficult: the space is a lounge /
bar, so it's not a traditional event venue. That means things like cameras /
mics / lighting / bandwidth may be hard to come by.
Is there anyone here who's attending the event who would like to try and
tackle getting a

I don't think I was looking to introduce parameters or anything complicated,
