I believe it “sold out” at 2700, so we didn’t completely max out the venue. I’m not an organizer, but the limits have more to do with precommitments from the conference than physical size; i.e. we project we can get 2300 in the door for sure, so we won’t buy food or food-service-worker-time for more than 2700. Stuff like that.
Making these numbers too big (as they have been at a few points in pycon’s past) can be financially ruinous to the PSF so it’s always a little conservative.
