IIM is mostly final unless we see some major show stopper issues while
managing PyDelhi Conf.

Seating 829+ in Main hall, 2 smaller halls with 300+ seating.

Internet is available however we would have to manage our own routers.

We have access to 2 meeting halls to where we can hold the developer
sprints.

Green rooms are available behind each Audi allowing us to use them for
storage and other such needed activities.

There is enough space available to hold open spaces. Rest of the things/
challenges would clear up when we hold PyDelhi Conf there this March.
