VCF East Before-Hours Exhibiting
I read that exhibits at VCF East don't open until 7:30 AM on Saturday. However, last year we were exhibiting (either officially or unoffically) on Friday -- I recall handling a school group at one point. Is there going to be any "early" exhibiting this year? And if not, how are we going to secure the exhibit rooms? Regards, Dan FitzGerald They/Them/Theirs http://www.vm.ibm.com/devpages/dfitzger
Nono its doors open Friday sat and sun 7:30am for entry. Exhibits open officially at 8am I believe The reminder was to announce that so people have time to file in for the early talks at 8am without having to rush at the door to 9010D On Wed, Apr 12, 2023 at 16:37 Dan FitzGerald via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

I asked Jeff, but I will ask here as well...so that means basically you expect exhibitors to set up on Friday. Will the place be open in the evening? Bill On Wed, Apr 12, 2023 at 5:11 PM corey cohen via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

I think it can be confusing for the public so they tend to wander into the space since exhibitors are going in and out. I assume we are supposed to be politely asking them to leave if we figure out they aren't exhibitors.
The schedule says exhibits open at 8AM, that pretty much sets the expectations some show visitors will want to quickly check out the exhibits before the first talk starts. There will be safety issues with carts being wheeled in, electrical cords being strung. Should be interesting. b On Wed, Apr 12, 2023 at 5:26 PM David Gesswein via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

My understanding is Exhibits aren't open Friday and people are supposed to set up then. Exhibits are open Saturday and people are supposed have setup done before 8am open.

Sorry if was unclear. I meant that we need to set up exhibits on Friday because they're being advertised as open Saturday at 8AM. I don't know about you but I would never want to be setting up my exhibit Saturday morning with people walking around looking at a half finished exhibit, quality of product, ya know? b
SO....I was asking if the exhibit space was open Friday night for set up? b On Wed, Apr 12, 2023 at 5:47 PM Bill Degnan <billdegnan@gmail.com> wrote:

Not only is it customary, Friday night is where the exhibitors all help each other get setup and work out last minute issues or borrow last minute items. corey cohen uǝɥoɔ ʎǝɹoɔ Sent from my iPhone

Exhibitors can start setting up at 7:30AM on Friday until 10PM. Consignment can be brought in by the public on Friday, who wish to sell at consignment, starting at 5:30PM https://vcfed.org/events/vintage-computer-festival-east/vcf-east-exhibits/vc...
