Short excerpt from a Cameron Herold YouTube video describing a technique for connecting with large audiences (~200 people) by focusing on 4–5 key individuals located in different areas of the room so they can amplify engagement to surrounding attendees; also mentions coordinating with an AV/’A B’ team for sound checks and setup.

So basically when you run a room of about 200 people, there's no way you can connect with all 200. So what you really do a good job with is you try to pick four or five people. So you kind of grab four areas throughout the room and you try to connect with a person in each of those areas. So I'm going to pick a person on the right, a person in the middle, person to the left and a person off the far end. And I'll try to kind of go first, second, third row of tables and grab people in there. And if I connect with those people, they'll connect with the other people around them, and that's how I connect with the whole room. So. And I'll come in tomorrow morning and I'll meet with the A B team that is right there and they'll help me do sound checks and setups at the break. Then we'll crush it.
