I'm surprised the *hotel* permitted that sort of tight layout, never mind a fire marshall inspection. They're going to get yelled at, decertificated etc. if a snap inspection calls them on it.
I was peripherally involved in the layout for the art show and dealer's room at Intersection in 2005 (Big Dave did all the AutoCAD juggling required). The fire lanes in the chosen hall were absolute and documented as such on the official convention centre plans, no encroachment by tables, fixed exhibits etc. permitted. They were wide enough for a fire truck to drive down if needed.
That resulted in big open spaces which we couldn't cram down to make the place more intimate if we had wanted to but that's the breaks.
