I've asked, and we can run past 9 with no problem. The guy only asked that
we come up with an approximate end time. So if we want later than 9, we
can change it. I told him I'd get back to him after our meeting on Wed.

There are 3 network connections available in the room. I asked if there
were any restrictions on the computers that can use them, and he didn't
reply to that. So I assume there are not.

We did tell him we'd need power access for multiple computers, and would
like power strips available. I haven't heard if he can provide those (he
may have emailed Maggie), but in any case we can always bring a few as
backups.
