You can get the LIRR from Penn Station at 34th street.  Many subway lines go straight there or within a few blocks.

 
You can also take the subway to Atlantic Terminal in Brooklyn and get on the LIRR there. The LIRR trains at Penn Station and Atlantic Terminal don't run on the same schedule so be sure to look at the correct one.

I'm planning on bringing some reference material I'm familiar with to test out gear . . . what would be the best format to bring music in?

FLAC files on a USB drive?
FLAC files on a data CD?
FLAC files made into a music CD?
 
Any thoughts / better solutions? Thanks!

 
 
USB stick and standard plays-in-any-CD-player CD.

Could depend on what you bring for lunch! :D
 
Realize I kid.  No food or drink is allowed (or is that just strongly suggested?) within the confines of the meeting room for obvious reasons.

Theoretically you put your name and max price on a slip of paper near some donated gear. Much like analog ebay. In practice it turns into a pretty standard auction with someone yelling at people to give them money. 
 
$5-20 is reasonable to just give the organizer to cover room costs if you don't buy anything in the auction. If you want to buy stuff, maybe$200. Or prepare for a mad dash to an ATM machine.

There should be room for you. I could always bring out another table if needed.

Bring your bank account. It will be broken there anyway.
