Don:
Thanks for posting the previous messages to the SAML-DEV
group.
Can you please post this current message and attachment to
the group as well
(after you've had a chance to review it)? I've thought
through your likely
facilities requirements for the demo/suite, and I've made
some working
assumptions in all the areas I outlined. My hunch is that
the only things
Kathy Herrmann will need to discuss/request with the hotel
and others are:
--Ordering 10 six-foot-long stand-up tables for the
computers and literature
--Ordering 13 monitor-mounted display signs, one for each
participating
vendor (per whatever design is agreed upon by the
participating vendors)
--Ordering the food/drink cart/tables and
bartender/buspeople
My current working assumptions (contained in the attached
document) are that
my proposed room layout/design are OK; there will be no more
than one
CPU/monitor station per participating vendor; that vendors
will provide
their own Ethernet/LAN switch and horizontal cabling; that
existing in-room
lighting fixtures and power outlets will be sufficient; and
that no Internet
connections or desk telephones will be required in the room.
I'm also
assuming that the press conference will take place in the
demo/suite room.
Please have the team confirm/correct/adjust these
assumptions ASAP. Kathy
can't negotiate/provision these things without your
confirmation. The longer
you wait, the less likely it is that Kathy will be able to
provision them
for the demo/suite in time.
I'm trying to make your and Kathy's jobs easier by positing
some plausible
assumptions in all these areas. Time's a-wasting.
Thanks.
Jim
