Photograph taken from the front of a large, bright hall during a convention, looking out over a dense crowd of people seated on the floor, mostly dressed in white. The foreground is dominated by the rounded white top of a seat or cushion with a vertical orange stripe. Several people are visible on an upper balcony along the back wall, and ceiling fans and rows of fluorescent tube lights line the high white ceiling. Tall windows with latticed screens run along the side walls, and a loudspeaker stands at the right edge.
