Event planning guide
Beforehand
- Solicit for volunteers / vendors, add them to (a spreadsheet?)
- If not at protohaven, confirm details
- our booth location, whether we can sell stuff at the table, load in/out instructions, power & provided furnishings at the booth
- Confirm we have transportation to/from the event (may need a van)
- If held at protohaven, reserve all tools that shouldn't be operated during the event. Also consider catering
- Inventory give-aways and make sure we have enough for the size of the event
If there is a vending opportunity that we open to members, members who intend to sell must help man the booth/table
Moving in and setting up
Checklist of things to pack/unpack - including
- square reader / tablet if selling
- collapsible chairs and hand cart
- spinning wheel and freebies (stickers, coasters, pens etc)
- a banner/sign of some sort
- postcards
- A laptop for people to sign up for coming in for a tour
- Newsletter sign up sheet
Afterwards
- put away freebies/promo materials etc.
- pop those booth photos in the Marketing assets drive folder
Future
Build a booth that attracts people! Like a laser cut silhouette of a sewing machine with a needle going up and down. A hammer that rotates and hits an anvil, or something.
Freebie ideas:
- “I'm busy” headphone stickers
- Dye sub microfiber cloth
- Little small rulers
- Gauge thickness checkers
- Measuring square with fractional→decimal table
- Slot together dinosaur or other skeleton things, metal or plastic etc.
- CNC plasma keychain - bottle openers, multi tools etc
DIY claw game to make freebies last a bit longer
