Expo Booth eye-catchers?


What are some of the best displays, demos, setups, handouts etc that you all have seen at the expo events you've attended...?

I'm pooling ideas for our fall organization expo here at UND :)

I'm not sure if you mean this but . Lenka and NABX TV add a real sense of belonging when played at the after party . She is very talented with all the right gear so it may be tough to find someone to pull it off.

Display wise. Invite the local kite club to join you with their sky art ?

NOTHING LOOKS BETTER than a ton of kites in the sky !!!!!!!!!

If you are talking Booth. Make the Booth out of a big LEI.

blade any advice on how to stand up an LEI like an arch over the table? We've only sat it on the ribs behind the table, Leading edge up and "wrapped" around the table (wingtips near the table ends)

ive done the outdoor show here in Vancouver twice, one year they let us mtn board down the huge dirt track.

i had a corner booth so the TV showing the sport helps. setup a buggy to let people sit in.

stickers handouts are always good.

Yes, that's about what I pictured. That or the Fifth line to the ceiling to hang it more?

Can you hang a bungeed bar from the ceiling ? Add a small tramp + atb sans trucks ?

I suppose video in the booth is a no brainer.

For inflatable kites, use 2-3 inch thick walled PVC pipe (or similar). You will need vertical legs, an angled joint piece, and more pipe for the supporting arms.
Of course, you will need to attach the vertical supports to something like a wall or a base.

Take this concept and then tweak it. A kite can be held up with a single T shape of PVC as well. I guess it all depends what you have in the room to use.
