________________________

The Table & Space

If you have any helmets or props you’d like to display at the table, feel free to bring them with you! If you are also able to bring any extra cards with you for the table or out like to give me any to bring with. I would be happy to accept them. Please let me know. We have 50x50 space this year. This is huge! We are sharing all the space with RL, GA, MM & our fellow Droid Builders.
________________________

Table Shifts

We would like at least 2 troopers per each 2-3 hour time slot.

These shifts are not set in stone and we can change things around the day of. However, if you sign up for a shift and can’t make it or are running late please let me know or someone know. We don’t want to leave any troopers stranded for long hours at the table. And if you happen to find yourself stranded for more than two hours do not hesitate to call or text as well. We’re all in this together, respect your fellow troopers so we can all have a good time.

Sign up below with the dates that you can be at the show and whether you can assist with load-in on Friday and/or load-out on Sunday. - I will have a google doc attached.
Please also include your full name and Legion ID number, too. THANKS!
________________________

Exhibitor Badges:
We were given several badges to accommodate people this year. They were very generous with the amount they were gave us. A. We will only rotate the vendor badges in/out. Only a few will be given out on a permanent basis. Your driver's license will be given your sign out for while at the con. However, Priority will need to go to members who are able to attend each day of the three day convention and/or assist with load-in on Friday and load-out on Sunday. (Note that four-day attendance is NOT a requirement, but it makes things simpler if we address the three-day attendees first.) Members taking advantage of these deeply-discounted tickets will be expected to assist with manning the booth. Please keep your fellow troopers in mind. At every convention, we often have a large number of people working the booth during peak hours, but there are always times when someone is left alone to cover everything for extended periods, often during the hours just before the show floor closes. Let's remember to be "Troopers helping Troopers" and not abandon someone to serve lonely duty by themselves.

Booth Location: TBD
_______________________

Changing Space:

They are giving us a changing space behind our booth this year.
_______________________

Parking:

We do not get comped for parking. Options are the same as those for the general public. Keep in mind that (especially on Saturday and Sunday) that nearby parking lots will likely fill up by midday. If you also park at CFA Exam parking building (right across the street from the convention center and in between the Double Tree/Embassy Suites) and eat at MB Financial Park restaurant, bring your parking ticket and they comp your parking.

Planning on going Friday and Saturday (would like to work shifts but also check the Con as it's our first time here).
What about handlers, do we have to purchase tickets for them?

(I'm working event crew for the convention this year for almost all hours. If I get relieved for any reason I'll swing by but can't commit otherwise. Derrick will be there for RL.)
