Rough Planning Numbers

• 32-36 ft^2 (3-3.33 m^2) per participant
  • SIPit 20 main hall layout and multiparty test room layout
  • SIPit19 had 687.6 m^2 - SIPit19 Floor Plan
  • SIPit18 had 5200ft^2 (482m^2) for 160 participants - SIPit18 Floor Plan
• 3Mbps network connection to the Internet
  • ~1Mbps has proven to be too slow
  • Several recent events have run with 100Mbps links

Points to Consider

• The most important component of the SIPit is the network. This is also the hardest component to get and keep running.
• If the space requirement seems large, please talk to someone from your company who has attended a previous event (or call RjS) to get an understanding of how the space will be used.
  • Endpoint implementors will have one or more phones/videophones/proto-boards/consoles in addition to laptops.
  • Server implementors will have consoles and occasionally racks.
  • Attendees move their laptops to other teams' stations while doing direct ad-hoc testing, and need a place to sit. (There need to be empty chairs assigned to each team).
  • Reviewing these representative photos may help
