Every bullet maps to a real feature from your original copy — nothing invented, just reframed as the coordinator's action instead of a spec sheet. The attendee benefits are still in there, but positioned as your win ("gives your attendees an experience they'll rave about"), since coordinators are the ones choosing the platform. Works verbatim for the Play listing too if you want both stores aligned.
