Demonstration Set-up & Schedule:
As you know, room F35 at the Chambre de Commerce has been received for the TOSCA Interop. This room is located next to the ICS conference room (F36), and is available to the group from 8:00-18:00. Please find the current layout of the room in the attached. Comments are welcome. We would very much like to introduce the demonstration participants at the end of the ICS opening session, which begins at 9:00 AM. This session is solely dedicated to TOSCA -- Frank Leymann will be presenting on behalf of the TC. We would like to have the ICS moderator take a few minutes at the end of the session to mention the Interop demonstration and participants.

Company Signage
OASIS will provide all demo signage in order to ensure fairness and consistency. All signage will be forwarded to the group for approval by 27 September. I do have many company logos already, but may need to contact a few for high-resolution logos over the next few weeks. In the meantime, please feel free to contact me directly with any questions regarding signage.
AV Equipment & Technical Requests
Participating companies will be responsible for bringing any of their individual equipment to the event (if applicable). OASIS will be supplying the group with a large monitor (about 32”) and computer onsite. Wireless internet connectivity will be available in the room throughout the day. If the group decides to continue with demonstrations during the reception, a computer and video monitor will be made available.
