OK, I've been sitting on this for 2 weeks now. I was hoping to have more feedback from AIA before disclosing it, but time is getting short.
As soon as I heard about Gage going to the 2016 AIA meeting, I placed a reservation on the booth next to his. The AIA conference people are holding that reservation, until they decide whether or not to approve my request.
I think that they may be concerned about things getting out of hand. I've assured them that I will make absolutely certain that this is NOT going to happen.
Any appearance or discourse I/we put in will be conducted with complete professionalism, dignity & civility. I will enforce that upon our people with unyielding will. And a 2x4, if required.
If anything starts to get out of hand, even if it is not our fault, I've told them that I'd move our booth elsewhere. I've invited their representatives to come sit with us to observe the interactions. If it happens, we will be their guests, & I am adamant that we be civil.

My intention is to rent a small living room. A couch or two, a couple tall chairs & a couple tall, small diameter tables.
I intend to contact some experienced structural engineers in the Philadelphia area & invite them to come sit in this area and, along with me, to provide technical answers to Gage's nonsense.
Coffee, soft drinks, pleasant music, comfortable environment.
No stress.
No crusade.
Absolutely NO circus.
Just quiet, competent answers to incompetent questions & assertions.
I'd like to ask for some help from you guys preparing for this.
1) Suggestions on Visuals.
I'm thinking absolutely minimalist. Just a small sign that says, "Ask us why these guys are wrong." Or some such...
2) One bit of info that I'd like to hand off is to chase down an updated collection of engineering literature that supports NIST's conclusions. Either directly, or indirectly by version of citing the NIST report.
This will take a trip to the library, or having a subscription to a Citation Index. If anyone wants to sign up for this task, please let me know.
3) I'd like to get someone to produce a collation of the engineers who did contribute to the NIST report & a short bio & list of published papers.
4) I'd like to get someone to produce the same sort of list for AE911Truth engineers.
5) One direct component will be addressing each point on Gage's AE911Truth page of his tallied "evidence for CD".
6) I'm thinking of replicating Gage's "boxes", just so that I can explain what a useless, deceptive "model of the towers" it is.
7) I'd love to hear any suggestions from you guys, as to what you think would be a compelling, simplified organization of arguments.
Remember, architects are not structural engineers. Some of them need help understanding the details, too.
And there is a fair chance that some TV reporters might show up, as well.
We'll need something "interesting" for them to look at.
__
Finally, I'd also like to ask a little help in covering the costs.
It'll put together a budget, but I believe that it'll be about $5K for the booth, probably about $1K for everything else.
If anyone here knows how to start a fund like Chris Moore did for the Millette study, that'd be a great help. A note to Chris is probably a great start.
(If someone wants to take on this whole task of organizing contributions, that be a HUGE help.)
If you guys could pass around this note to anyone else who you think might want to contribute, that'd help as well.
I'll cover anything not covered by contributions.

NOTE TO ANYONE WHO CONTRIBUTES:
Please keep a record (just a note to yourself), about how much you contribute. If, for any reason, AIA does NOT let me appear, I'll need some way to get your money back to you.
