Yes, We should have two cameras up and running.
(My wife will man one of them.) One will be for live video, (lower quality)
another will be used to grab footage for Youtube.
@SRLM:
There is NO WAY we would allow Parallax to host this without
having them as a vendor! Can you imagine the agony of being
"that close" to cool products without being able to purchase them! [noparse]:)[/noparse]
OUCH!
@SRLM: Jim Carey (Sales Manager) has grand plans to harass anybody with a wallet. We're setting up a special negotiations room for one-on-one sales. No prices will be published ahead of time, but shall be resolved based on quantity, future sales potential, etc. I think we've even got an extended warranty program being set up for the arrival of our guests. We've also got some deal closers on site to help things get accomplished. Sales quotas must be met on that weekend, too, else our staff faces probation.
Seriously: yes. Jim is publishing a discounted price list for any guests who want to buy some products. We will provide a flat, solid discount of some value (I don't know that value - it's up to Jim, but I think it will be 30-35%). In fact, my boys will be selling ucontroller.com's products from a table, too.

I'm arriving a little before and staying a little after.
Since this is my only vaca for the year, the wife and I are going to Napa Valley to take a tour on Monday.
I'm so excited about this..I can't believe its so close now!
With exception to Chip & Joe (sorry, they are headliners) speakers
should try to hold their demonstration to 30 min. At the end of your
demonstration, you should invite those who want to get more information
to join you at your table. [noparse]:)[/noparse]
Also, We have many who need table space. Because of limitations
due to number of people arriving, tables will need to be shared.
I will need to meet with all of those who are speaking sometime around
8:30am-9:30am to get your times worked out.
I assume the tables are the folding "banquet" type. But what size? 30" x 6', x 8', x 10'? And by "share", I assume you mean half, right? ('Just need to plan my spread! )
Wow, seriously? A hundred 4th and 5th graders? How do you do it? It would take only two or three to find me balled up in a fetal position somewhere, whimpering for deliverance!
We'll misss you, for sure! (A hundred! Good googly moo!)

Phil, I'll try to get you the exact details by email. [noparse]:)[/noparse]
We'll try to give everyone as much space as possible.
Hopefully we will be able to split 6' or 8' tables, but I'll have to contact
Lauren to see which were brought in. [noparse]:)[/noparse] IIRC, there were 13 tables
for use for demos, a few more were figured for food, and couple more
for soldering stations.

I have a week's worth of last minute items to handle for UPEW,
so we better not have it today. [noparse]:)[/noparse]
That's it! RSVP registration is closed! We have a FULL HOUSE!
Now it's time for me to get the last minute details ready for a great show!
{including a huge effort from Parallax staff! UPEW not possible without them!}
Now that registration has closed, and all who are coming to UPEW have committed, I am wondering about transportation between the airport and Parallax/Hotel. I have not rented a car, and am hoping to hitch a ride with someone. My flight gets me in at noon on Friday 26th, and back out out at 4:20 on Monday 29th.
Does that lign up with anyone else to share rides; cab, rental or otherwise??? Surely Parallax is not looking forward to having 100 extra cars in their parking lot, so I'm sure a bunch of compacting can be done.
I live outside Chicago and could (it work allows) drive out there if something opens up.· Is there a "standby" list I could get on just in case someone else cancels?
Sleeping bags are fine.. tents outside are also Ok'd.
As Ken said, by the time anyone bothers to check a complaint the
organizer (me) will be on a plane. [noparse]:)[/noparse] [noparse]:)[/noparse]
SRLM said...
Do you have a schedule? I see on the website that starting time is 9:00 AM. When it the "official" ending time? Who is presenting when? Thanks.
9:00am is the official open time. Those with gear/presentations that need to be setup should arrive a little earlier. The expo will officially close Sunday 12:00 noon. Presentations times will be determined by those presenting Saturday morning.
I'll give an "official" headcount soon, but I believe it's somewhere in the 150-160 range before staff. (I have a few emails to transfer yet.)
Just a note about weather, it's going to be a hot Saturday - 102 degrees. I'm sure that Parallax HQ will be nice and cool, but don't leave any pets in the car [noparse]:)[/noparse]
