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
