Involve the participants in the planning. It may seem boring, but they're prepared before coming to NECC.

Deal with content early. Where is it originating, where is it terminating, how is it routed to codecs, how is it routed to projectors, what protocol (video, content, duo video, H.239, etc.), can the far end receive it, can the bridge handle it, etc.

Make different plans for different connection types... Incoming presentation vs. outgoing presentation, content in vs. content out

Can we run and coordinate from off site? If it's all web... Virtual IVC Ops? Monitor rooms, monitor sessions

Let's not use conference room systems for large session/presentation/panel/workshop/etc. rooms. Audio and echo cancellation are different in bigger rooms.

Setup Audio/network/VTC SWAT team for rapid response before events.
