Need someone to check my math...

Got a client headed to my neck of the woods from across the pond and need to provide 6 tables with 220V EU Connector power strips for a breakout session for their laptops and chargers. Fully comfortable with electrical theory as it relates to 110V in the US, but wanna make sure I am thinking about this correctly with minimal investment. Here are the components (not necessarily EXACT products) that I think I need:

110v to 220v Step up transformer with enough wattage to handle overall load:

Amazon.com: Goldsource STU-750 Step Up/Down Voltage Transformer Converter - AC 110/220 V - 750 Watt: Electronics

Then to not have to buy 220V cabling, adapt to back to 110v Edsion cable (knowing that any 110 devices will go *POOF* if plugged into):

Heavy Duty Grounded USA American To European German Schuko Outlet Plug Adapter - 6 Pack - Amazon.com

Then use standard edison cable to distribute to 220V power strips at the tables:

Amazon.com: VCT USP600 - Universal Power Strip 6 Outlets 100V to 220V/250V and 3750 Watts Built-in Universal Surge Protector with Window Shutters and Circuit Breaker for Worldwide Use: Electronics

Am I thinking about this correctly or is there an easier solution I am missing?
