Friday August 18 11:30-12:30 Lunch Break Anton Bakker, Antonio Cercillo
Friday August 18 16:00-16:30 Move out Add yourself

Equipment

Possible needs (revise based on exhibitor pack from conference):

  • Poster?
  • Flyer console (to be bought)
  • laptops/monitors?
  • 1 high table? drape? 2 stools/chairs? banner, cloth banner ceiling
  • screen? wired internet?
  • GeoForAll: Tangible Landscape if space allows?
  • Please note: per july 2017 a new logo design and collateral update is under way

Printings:

  • Stickers to be printed
  • OSGoo Flyer(s) to be printed
  • Banners to be printed locally:
    • Old: http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/marketing/exhibitionpack/
    • Suggest both: OSGeo_popup and OSGeo_popup2
    • Ask printer/see on printer-site, whether the PDF of SVG format is needed. Silk finish or silk matt finish for readability (light glare during exhibitions is high)
  • Brochure:
    • Old: OSGeo_Brochure_2010_PRINT_A4_spread.pdf (this is single A4 back and front)
    • Current: Tri-folded handout, minimal branding
    • New brochure to be printed locally - pending rebranding
    • I suggest minimum paperweight of 100 gram paper, silk or silk matt finished. Ask printer to fold, preferably not do so yourself (bothersome and never a crips bend). Usually I count max 100 brochures per exhibition day on average. Now, 300 will do I expect.
  • Table runner
  • CD Live disk/stick (latest version?)
  • Geo4all labs materials?
    • Ask labs to provide flyers highlighting education and research programs
    • Where to send them and how many? Volunteer for a booth timeslot and bring your own.
  • Project information sheets
    • Work with rebranding templates and OSGeo Live for contents
    • Where to send them and how many? Volunteer for a booth timeslot and bring your own.

Booth Presentations & Activities

Booth activities

  • not much space for presentations, perhaps rent a screen?
  • nobody has rented a screen, assume personal laptops
