There are only about 20,000 attendees expected. (Compare to Dreamforce where are about 170,000 attendees.) For a conference like DreamWorks, OracleWorld, etc., they shut down the street that runs in front of the convention center for a block to basically make it a bar/social area. A pain in the ass if you are trying to get around, but doable. For this, they are shutting down and creating a no-go zone from Market to Harrison - 5 city blocks- and from 2nd to 5th. You have to go through checkpoints to get into it. I have never seen this. My husband has to deal with this next week and is dreading it. And we are supposed to get our first big storm on Tuesday which is the day Brandon is supposed to arrive. (When I saw that it made me go "hmmm....what are the odds?")
