My experience with 500 is not much different than with 300. It is the preparation that counts. Clear theme, givens and action parameters if appropriate and then all the infrastructure, just more. You'll need 30 break out rooms (maybe more) and a room that seats 1000 theatre style is the preference. The turnaround time on the book is longer, I did one over night and did convergence the next morning, no problem.
