2024/Düsseldorf/Planning
Planning for IndieWebCamp Düsseldorf 2024.
Organizers:
- Marc Thiele — cross-promotion with btconf, ticketing
- Joschi Kuphal — Saturday venue
- Tantek Çelik - wiki editing, wrangling more co-organizers, working with Joschi Kuphal and Marc Thiele to figure out details to make an IWC happen! Sunday venue search
- David Shanske Attending, and happy to help in any way
- ...
Venue:
- Saturday May 11: The City Library
- Sunday May 12: Niu Tab hotel lobby, long tall table with outlets in the middle, David Shanske will bring flag to drape over the table to claim it
Emails:
Sunday venue ideas?
- ACCEPTED: grabbing a long tall table with outlets in the Niu Tab hotel lobby
- ...
- REJECTED: lobbycon at the Holiday Inn (where most of the IWC organizers are staying) — too loud and busy, many times there were screaming individuals
- may require someone who is staying there: Tantek Çelik, David Shanske, capjamesg
- pros:
- outlets / desks
- (likely?) lobby wifi
- cons:
- is "in public"
- no exclusive use/guarantee of the space - expect randoms to show up and use any available space
- may get kicked out by the hotel
- needs:
- would need a way to project (micro/picoprojector?) for demos session
- would need to set expectations of participants ordering at least a drink and/or snack from the hotel (perhaps at some frequency? like every 2 hours?) because the room in the middle of the hotel lobby and is serviced by the bar staff
Photos of Holiday Inn lobby:
Not this year (but has worked in past, maybe in future)
- CGI - need to message Marc about contacting them
- sipgate — will they be open to hosting an event for outsiders?
- ...
