We're unsure about having it in SF vs. East Bay. Sudo Room would be a good option, if East Bay.

Food
Ari would like to request lots of nonalcoholic drink options and a non-pizza approach to food. Fruit, salad, high protein, low-carb/low-dairy/vegetarian options would be key, if we're providing food. Feeding meals to crowds is hard; it might be best to just send people out for lunch but provide snacks.
