Hi,
I won't be there but that's a great idea, we need to spread more the opportunities possible uses of Wikidata. A booth is a great and simple way to engage with other wikimedians.
Cheers, ~nicolas

This is really an awesome idea. I added myself to some of the available slots. Happy to add more if needed.

Hello all, *(sorry for crost-posting)*
If you're into Wikidata and attending Wikimania 2018 in Cape Town, you'll probably be interested in the Wikidata booth!
Located in the core of the conference venue[0], this table will be dedicated to the Wikidata community, and an information point for anyone wanting to learn more about Wikidata.
This booth being community-driven, we need help from everyone to take care of this space, make it friendly and animated, and engage with the participants! To take a shift, you don't need to know everything about Wikidata, you should mostly be able to answer simple questions, be friendly with people, and redirect them to volunteers or employees if necessary.
If you're willing to take a shift, or organize something special with the other community members, please register on this page: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Wikimania_2018#Wikida ta_community_booth If you have any question or idea, feel free to contact me.
Cheers, Léa
