On general principle, I don't think there'd be any issue especially if the focus is on the action up front as a broadcast of the awards themselves with an emphasis on stuff like the winners, crowd reaction, etc. Parking a streaming camera on the screen in main or VAT itself and it rapidly veers in the direction of "not a chance." I'll see if I can get a more definitive answer out of someone with more authority.
One must be very carefull with crowd shots. If the polices of the con state if you buy a pass you agree to be videod you're fine, however if not be carefull with liability of crowed shots. I already know of two events where someone was threatenign legal action becasue they were caught on video as part of the audience.
It is really sad when this becomes a liability, but it's reality

I lost two staff, including my night time person as we do run 24 hours. So I need to replenish.
Just keep in mind if you two do come out and want to be staff for the AMV section, you'd not be able to participate in the AMV contest. BUT then again I do need good judges there too, and can use people I've already worked with. sooooo....
