[Scale-planning] Expo Pass

[Caryl Bigenho]

Hi Folks!


Great show! I'm not surprised to learn about the people misusing the Expo Only passes. It is sad that they would do that, but it is a real problem! Would it be possible to make the "Expo Only" badges more evident? Every way I can think of would be pretty complex... different art work, or maybe "Expo Only" in Red instead of black. Or how about a different font for the and larger print for the "Expo Only" type? Even that would be a bit complex. Maybe just a different color lanyard?


Also on the topic of badges... If the name badge part of the print out could take up 2 adjacent regions so it could be folded in half and the name could be seen from both sides it would solve the problem of 50% of the people wearing badges that show as blank white cards (the back of the name card). It is nice to be able to speak to people by their names, but half the time it isn't possible (unless you already know them... but maybe you haven't seem them for a while and can't remember their names?). If this is done, the fold should be on the lower edge of the badge for easy insertion into the badge holder.

P.S. One of my booth volunteers actually went back and paid for a full pass because he felt he wasn't going to do enough in our booth to deserve full admission. As it turned out, he was a big help, especially on Sunday when several of us had to go over to the OSSIE track and he filled in admirably ... overcoming his shyness to really relate to the people who were stopping by and asking questions.

FYI -

Clearly a number of people were purchasing the expo pass to attend the presentations:

"I friend told me that the expo pass is cheaper, I think it’s $20, I don’t know what it’s limitations are. The talks I saw today were fantastic, total"
