Some of the info you seek about exhibiting may be found at
http://exhibitors.ala.org/files/AN10-SpaceApplication.pdf
Note for the record that whoever said they were offering you a 'special'
deal was toying with you as this is the regular price that anyone would pay
for a 'small press table'.
Still, at $2025 for a 10x10 space (add $175 for a corner booth) this is
really a pretty good deal... IF they deliver on attendance. And by my count
(based on http://exhibitors.ala.org/files/ALA-AN10-Exhibitor-List.pdf ) they
are a long way from having the 6000+ exhibitors they've had previous annual
events... so before I would plunk any dinero down I would want to get some
serious assurance that their registration rate is on track with prior years,
especially as their closing date is January 29.
And personally (as it is well known on this list -- or should be <grin> --
that I am a chronic stumper for getting the word out to the
technophobe-nation), I think that a wham-bam dog and pony show with blazing
wide-screens, humming work stations, dazzling banners (about this being
OOo's 10th happy birthday <tah-dah>!) topped off with the classy
Presentation Kit we've previously discussed and the illustrious exhuberance
of a few folks like Drew & Andy would be a marvelous way to spend marketing
dollars... ~Christine

Richard
Widick who handles sales of booths for ALA, he advised that they would
"as a
special for openoffice" give us a small table on press row for USD800 as
an
alternative if we wish. Im not sure how effective the small table will
be.
I can assist with the OO.o CDs so that would be a "no cost". All I
would need is a address to ship them and an estimate on how many would
be needed. I would start on the CDs as soon as v3.2 is released.
Being only a few hours drive (mini-van) I could certainly act as an
early collection point.
Not trying to say a small table wouldn't be fine, but Logistics wise I
can also furnish:
[One note - I really would like to see the shows policy regarding
security first, but assuming it's a locked facility at night]
32" LCD Display (Sony HD TV/Monitor)
22" LCD Display (HP 2207)
8/gig dual core server to drive both displays
2 - pc workstations
1 - HP PSC
Networking - wiFi router / switch
Commercial grade drop lines for a power run, some spot lighting
equipment used in craft show displays. (Just in case there might be nice
banner to highlight maybe :>)
Good skirting for tables if needed. ( dark blue (my choice) and/or moca
brown )
Alright - it's only 10x10 and that's probably way too much equipment
but just saying I would be willing to help by bringing what we need.
