Forum Table at CSICON 2016: Want to Volunteer? Or Help Come Up with Ideas for It?

Scott Romanowski tells me we can have a table for this, here, International Skeptics Forum, set up at CSICON 2016. It might not need to be manned a lot. We can just leave flyers (more on that soon) on it for folks to pick up, at minimum. But, it would be NICE if someone was there to talk to, and to demo the site, as much as possible.

The Forum Table will be located in the 'Book Room'. I am not even sure what that means, exactly. But, if it is too far away from most of the action, I know I probably won't sit there too often. (This was NOT a problem at TAM, at least.)

But, I am requesting volunteers! If you would like to take a shift or two manning the Forum table, please let me know!

And, about those flyers: If someone would like to design one, that would be awesome! Otherwise, I will have to put it together myself, and it might be relatively mediocre. Adequate to get the URL out there, at least. But, BETTER than the strips of paper I made for last TAM. I suppose the final draft might have to be approved by management of this forum? I will ask management about that.

The table will also need a nice sign to put on display. If someone would like to make one, that would be good, too. Otherwise, I will print one up at the last minute, similar to the one last year. And, I will probably place it into one of the plastic stands I have for 8.5 x 11 inch sheets of paper. If you design the sign bigger than that, you will need a plan for it: A larger stand or design it as a table-cloth cover or something.

I never saw any large, high-res logos for this Forum. Last year, I re-created one for the sign. But, it was not a perfect match. Is there anyone out there who can do better, for the sign and for the flyers?

Finally, we should consider our options for giving something to first time attendees. At TAM we had very nice "First TAMer" buttons. We might not have time to order something like that, anymore. We could go with stickers instead, I think. But, what would they say?!
I would propose "New CSICONer", which almost, sort-of sounds like "Newcomer". But, if any of you fine folks have any better ideas, let us know!

I will have a laptop to demo the forum. But, it won't be left out when there is no one manning the table.

The Central Scrutinizer, unfortunately, will have no authority over the table, at all, what-so-ever
