Thought it might be useful to start a list of things we are going to need to bring / have.

Barend Köbben on August 16, 2013:

I'll volunteer to create and bring venue maps based on the one in the booklet + ones fro the workshop venues.
=> Jeremy, please provide the exact workshop rooms/buildings

I suggest putting them in all "venues": EMCC (at/near every room), Clive Granger, Workhops rooms, etc.
=> How many do we need, what size? (can be printed at ITC up to A0 size)
Will also create web versions for the site.

Barend Köbben on September 9, 2013:

I have just sent by courier to the EMCC a tube containing:
- Poster (A1) versions of the 3 maps: Campus map (3x) , EMCC floor plan (2x) and Clive Granger floor plan (2x). I propose to put one each up at the Conference desk, and one campus map and the appropriate floor plan at the entrance of the two buildings (EMCC and Granger)
- 4 laminated A4 versions of the same; these can be usefull to have lying around at the desk to show people rooms and buildings
- a couple of A3 paper versions of the same, to put up at different other places.

I have added the PDFs here also for later extra printing and maybe putting on the website somewhere (Barry?).

Claire Gilmour on September 10, 2013:

Extra labels in different sizes - who knows what we may need them for? - I have address labels, is this what is needed or do you have other ideas of what we need?

Something to make directions signs? - We have a printer and laminator what else is needed?

How many post its should I order for unconference?

Anything that you need printed needs to be with me on Thursday morning. We have a colour printer but it can only print A4.

Do you want me to buy pens for the unconference or are you happy for us to donate AGI pens that I have knocking around the office?

Steven Feldman on September 10, 2013:

Has anyone got a battery powered drill that they can bring just in case?

Mark Iliffe on September 10, 2013:

Yeah. Assign to me.
