SC15 Wrap Up Meeting — 12/3/15

Attendees: Ruth, Phil, Will, Neal

SC15 thoughts in review:
  • Overall everyone was pleased with the Stanford/SLAC SC15 exhibit. 
  • Art and Display did a fantastic job and were very easy to work with. 
  • Overall layout seemed to work well.
  • Collaboration spaces seemed to work pretty well. 
  • Nerd glasses were popular but not everyone got the concept. (readers?, 3D?)
  • Stanford stickers were popular items.
  • Exhibit booth staffing went well.
  • Great team and contributors!
  • All SU gear arrived back home safely.
Ideas for SC16 exhibit improvement:
  • Reversing the “S” rug so that the trunk is toward the front of the booth structure.
  • Larger tables for collaboration space.
  • Add more graphic content if the budget permits.
  • Larger whiteboard or writable/erasable walls inside exhibit booth.
  • Establish and post showtimes for video content.
  • Place a monitor inside exhibit booth as well as outside.
  • Maybe a couple of chairs outside for video viewing. Consider shrinking booth a bit to accommodate?
  • Would be great to have more research subject matter experts on hand to talk about their research.
  • Consider ideas for improved giveaways for next year. Have visitors earn giveaways.
Other notes:
  • Stanford acquired a 20x30 space for SC16 in Salt Lake City, UT.
  • Follow up on storage of rug etc. w/Art and Display.
  • Phil and Neal will follow up on billing for SLAC’s portion ($15K). Phil will attempt to initiate invoice to SLAC for fund transfer/payment to Stanford.
  • No labels
