Some tips on setting up the venue:

Have a battery/repair station

Set a table aside which you'll use a battery charging station, repair station and question station. That way you have one place where the attendees can go to, to get fresh batteries, repair the drones and ask questions.

Have a separate flying area

In order prevent accidents create a separate flying area. That way you won't have drones crashing into humans or laptops.

Setup the hacking tables

Setup the tables in a way, that a team of 3 to 4 hackers has enough space to have a drone on the table and their laptops. Have enough power sockets available for each table, since every attendee probably has one laptop and one mobile device that need recharging. Don't separate teams too much, because sharing and exchange is a big part of a successful NodeCopter event.

General

Make sure you know your way around the venue, so you can answer the questions on where stuff like the drinks, the toilets and the smoking area is.
