[EuroPython] Thoughts on exhibitors

[Jacob Hallén]

At our venue, we will have plenty of space for exhibitors.

I would like to propose that we make space available on the following 
conditions:

1. You can have a small space for free. This includes a desk, a chair and 2 
meters of wall space. You get one electric outlet (same standard as in 
Germany, the Netherlands etc) and access to the wireless network.
You are not insured by the conference. At least one member of your 
organisation must be attending the conference, but you may staff your booth 
with non attendees.

2. You are required to keep your booth manned during certain hours. I'd like 
to have 6 hours when we try to have a proper trade show. Lunch break, 
afternoon session and an hour or so after the end of the conference day of 
one day is what I have in mind. You can have your booth up manned or unmanned 
the rest of the time - it is up to each company to decide.

3. You can rent your own seminar room at 50 Euro per hour for demonstrations, 
private seminars, job interviews etc. (Evening hours cost more. Ask for an 
offer.)

4. You can rent more space and equipment on the show floor. Prices are close 
to "at cost". Contact Europython for an offer.

5. You can become a sponsor of the conference. The following options are 
available:

Gold sponsor - 2000 Euro
This gives you:
- Your name/link on the website
- An ad in the conference program
- A streamer in each conference room
- A streamer in the entrance
- A 15 minute talk before one of the keynotes

Sponsor - 500 Euro
This gives you:
- Your name/link on the website
- An ad in the conference program
- A streamer in each conference room

Advertiser - 100 Euro
This gives you:
- Your name/link on the website
- An ad in the conference program

Organising sponsor - At least 5 man days of work effort
- Your name/link on the website
- An ad in the conference program
- A streamer in the entrance
- A seminar room for 2 hours
- Double exhibition space for free

Special sponsor - Negotiable
If you have an offer which is of mutual benefit, we are ready to hear it. 
Please contact the Europython organisers.

6. If you want to put on a special event, please contact the Europython 
organisers.

7. For planning purposes we need your decision to participate no later than 1 
May 2004. Any participants joining after this date will be invoiced an 
administrative fee of 100 Euro, if they can be accomodated.
