That is, I can confirm - since I'm quite big - that the seats were pretty cramped for me and the table was essentially unusable. However, given the average japanese build the it's understandable. And no, I don't think metro-like "priority seats" – in this case, not for the elderly, handicapped or mothers-with-children but for big gaijin - would be a solution; I don't want to stand out there any more than I already do. :) I really enjoyed the conference and hope I can make it next year as well.
