While it is vendor specific (and therefore subject to certain biases) 
I’ve found the Aruba VRD (Validated Reference Design) documentation 
fairly clear and applicable to many high-density environments.  It 
covers theory, planning, and engineering.

I’m certain that Cisco, Xirrus, Ruckus, Ubiquiti, Areohive, etc. also 
have papers on the topic that (hopefully) have the same basic theory 
concepts applied to their specific configuration syntax and special 
sauces.  I’ve had good experiences with Aruba with high-density 
auditorium usage on several occasions, though I tend to turn off some of 
the proprietary features to keep things simple.

There are also some less-formal slide decks on the same topic from Aruba 
that are a bit redundant but more conversational:
