I was going through some of the best practices in setting up a Wikipedia booth & I learnt that using eye-catchers is one of the successful ways to attract attention of the attendees. Maybe we could use this idea too: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Use_eye-catchers_to_attract_attention.
Would be more than happy to discuss things over a call/Skype etc. Please let me know if I can help out in anyway.

Dear Kalyan,
Thank you for your detail proposal of hiring sound system and stickers and/or caps, T-shirts etc. You are right that we need broad band connection or data card whichever is available for running the live edits, teach and show throughout the exhibition.

Dear Biswarup da,
We need the sound system to assist the promotional videos that we would
run
on the TV as well as promotional events like spot edit/quiz contests.
The
promotional videos could either be extracts from Jimmy's inspiring speeches, clips from Wiki Conference India or small video tutorials on
how
to make the first edit. We can also hold spot edit contests, where a
random
person is selected from the crowd to make an edit. If that is a fair
edit,
we hand him/her a prize. We can also hold spot quiz contests, where the correct answer gets the prize. The prize could be a T shirt. In order to organize such promotional events, we need a sound system.
I also think, we need internet connection or data card whichever is applicable.
For promotional purposes we can also think of stickers and/or paper caps (sun guards) with Wikipedia logo. We can also sell the surplus T shirts from the Wiki Conference India programme or other merchandise if any.
Thanks and regards, Kalyan Sarkar

Perhaps you should correct Mr Tapas: we belong in the
education/reference

It is a good idea to remind our partners that although we're based on Internet projects, we are not at all *about* the Internet, but about
free
knowledge, and the creation and dissemination thereof.
