Equipment

Possible needs:
   

• Poster?
• Flyer console (to be bought)
• laptops/monitors?: there is not much pace
• 1 high table? drape? 2 stools/chairs? banner (1 FOSSGIS, 1 to be made), cloth banner ceiling (FOSSGIS)
• screen? wired internet?

(FOSSGIS e.V. has some equipement from past conferences)

• stickers to be printed
• OSGEo Flyer(s) to be printed

• Banners:

http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/marketing/exhibitionpack/
I 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:

OSGeo_Brochure_2010_PRINT_A4_spread.pdf
(this is single A4 back and front)
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

http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/marketing/exhibitionpack/
If printer is able to print on cloth, you could order:
OSGeo_tablerunner
Please check with printer if PDF or SVG file format required

• CD Live disk (latest version?)

http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/marketing/disk/
Per FOSS4GNA this was still 2011 version.....Check!

Presentations & Activities

• not much space for presentations, perhaps rent a screen?

• marketplace/message board (post-its and Header-sticker)
• Happy hours Wed 24 & Thurs 25 17.00-18.30, format fixed #drinks in stock, first-come-first-serve.
