Hi,
Thanks for the initiative Hisham and Nitika!
We need some following documents before submit the application
1. Apply on our own letterhead for participation
2. name & address
3. required space : stall (sq. mt) / table
4. space allotted in the last two years
5. photocopy of current trade licence & catalogue
6. latest issue of the journal
7. undertaking to abide by the rules and regulations
So we need help from WMF/Chapter for Point 1 and 5. They want photocopy of
society registration instead of *current trade licence & catalogue** .*

Completely support the idea. The book fair seems a
very good idea to reach
out to those who might be interested to edit English or Bengali Wikipedia.
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:

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.
Regards.
