Subject: [saml-dev] RE: SAML
Interoperability Demo marketing information
Dee and
others,
Thank you
for taking the lead on the marketing dialog, Dee. I have a couple of
questions/proposals on this topic.
First,
what is the deadline for agreement on marketing issues for this event?
Perhaps Friday June 14 would be appropriate to give everyone a full month to
build anything they don't have already.
To
reiterate some of the rules that I heard on this week's conference call:
- We are not allowed to bring our
booths as there is not enough space in the hospitality suite. Instead,
each vendor will have a table. What are the dimensions of the space with
which each vendor is working? Table size? Personal space
surrounding the tables? How will the room be set up? Are we allowed
to bring our own easels and signs?
- No
signage is allowed on the walls of the suite. I think the answer is no,
but is there any opportunity to bring large company/product signage that we
typically see at conferences?
I also
have some other questions/proposals:
- In your message, you indicated
that each vendor provide a 1 page flier describing their product. This
may have all been implied, but I propose that
a.) the
requirements is really one page front and back (rather than front only)
b.) each vendor is free to design
the page as they see fit
c.) each vendor is responsible for
delivering their fliers on Saturday July 13 during setup
- During
the call we proposed that each vendor has their company and product name on a
sign on the top of their monitor. Because we are concerned about
consistency, we need to agree on
a.) size
constraints
b.) format constraints -- I propose
no constraints on the sign formats
c.) production -- I propose that
each vendor is responsible for bringing their own
Is there a way to determine the
size of the monitors? If not, we can assume a 19" and base the size
off of that.
- Also
during the call we agreed that collateral would be available at the vendor
tables. Are there any limits to what can be displayed on the
tables? For example, could I bring a 4' sign and lean it against the wall
behind our table? I would think that we want to discourage signs like
that since we want to focus more on SAML and interoperating than individual
vendors and products.
Thanks
for your time,
Kyle
