Yep, the idea is that they have to go to the opposite end of the Expo hall, which means they should go by a whole bunch of booths.

I was expecting to have all the activities to be time sliced.  It gives people an excuse to visit the expo hall frequently if there is always something different going on.  Would 2-hour blocks be best?

And I really want it to be something the community and sponsor booths participate in, so we don't have to necessarily staff it the whole time, beyond coordinating and keeping an eye on any loaner equipment.

We should have some way of displaying the schedule of the activities to the rest of SCALE and at registration, especially if they get organized at the last minute.

ah, i see.  that's a consideration, but i don't think a limitation.  i believe lan is thinking you'd have to pass through the main sponsor area to get to a rear area for the special events.  we can cut things off early timewise, too-  but if anything, having kids in the back just means more parents hanging out in the expo hall during happy hour.

Yes, I suppose that’s a point. I was just thinking about having kids in the same vicinity as a happy hour. I suppose it’s not too different from the game night.

Won’t this affect any happy hour events that happen on the expo floor? Happy hours contribute towards our F&B obligations at the venue, so they are important too.

myself, i don't see how this would make vendors less likely to have food on the expo floor.  can you elaborate?

Game Night has gotten so large now, i think that might almost kill off the F&B obligation on its own.
