Hi Brad,
we would be glad to provide our hackerspace for such event. However, I am not sure if it would fully fit your needs. While we have enough electricity and internet, 50 people at the same time reaching the limit of the hackerspace capacity, maybe even stepping a little bit over.
For now, we have a three usable rooms + small kitchen. It is probably possible to put 25 + 10 + 10 people into the rooms, but I am not sure if they would still feel comfortable. Plus the third room is a little bit separated from the others, one floor bellow.
But if you are OK with such conditions, we would be happy to help you.
cheers, n.

Hello; I'm a member of the Open Bioinformatics Foundation (https://www.open-bio.org/wiki/Main_Page), a community involved with teaching, promoting and developing open source tools for biological research. We organize a yearly conference, called the Bioinformatics Open Source Conference (http://www.open-bio.org/wiki/BOSC_2017). As part of this we have a free and open two day coding session, called a Codefest, where we get together and work on open source development.
This year the BOSC conference is in Prague at the Convention Center and we've been looking for venues to host the Codefest. We came across your awesome Hackerspace and wanted to ask if you'd have interest in hosting us on July 20th and 21st.
Practically, we're a group of 40-50 low key programmers with pretty minimal needs, we're mostly looking for a space with power and internet to work. To give an idea of what we do, here are the details from last year's Codefest at the Familab Hackerspace in Orlando:

Would you have any interest in hosting us for two days? I'm happy to talk about any specifics or answer any questions. Thanks so much for considering the idea and for running and promoting makerspaces, Brad
