Dear Warpstock Exhibitor: On behalf of the Warpstock Board of Directors, and the Atlanta 99 Event Team, let me thank you for participating in the third annual Warpstock conference. I’m looking forward to speaking with all of you in Atlanta. Plans are coming together very nicely, and this year promises to be one of the most exciting yet. We have prepared this package for you, so that you know what to expect when you arrive at the Georgia International Convention Center in Atlanta. There’s a great deal of information here, and some of it requires your immediate attention, so please read all of this information carefully.
Headquarters Hotel - Sheraton Gateway If you have not already made hotel reservations, please do so immediately, and make sure you tell them you’re with Warpstock. Our special rate has expired, but they should still have weekend or AAA rates available. The hotel is near the airport (approximately 3 miles), and shuttle service from the airport to the hotel will be available. Please let John Ratti, ratti@iname.com, know if you require any special assistance getting from the airport to the hotel.SHERATON GATEWAY HOTEL ATLANTA AIRPORT 1900 Sullivan Road College Park, Georgia 30337 Tel: (770) 997-1100 Fax: (770) 991-5906 Web site: http://www.sheraton.com/cgi/t3.cgi/property.taf?prop=48&lc=en
We have appointed the following coordinators. These people are here to help you and to make sure that Warpstock runs as smoothly as possible. If you need any help, please contact the appropriate Warpstock coordinator. Warpstock Coordinators:
Booth Description Warpstock will provide each exhibitor with the following basic exhibit "booth".
We realize that we had originally committed to providing carpeting in the exhibit hall, but the cost of the carpeting proved to be excessive, so we were forced to eliminate the carpeting from our show floor plans. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause. Booth Assignments The following booth assignments have already been made. If there is any problem with this assignment, please contact our Exhibit Hall coordinator, Milind Rao, milindr@bellsouth.net, immediately. If you are interested in a larger presence on the show floor, adjacent booths may be available at a discounted rate. Again, please contact Milind Rao to make these arrangements. Additional booth space will be allocated on a first-come, first served basis.
Exhibit Hall Floor Plan/Booth Layout
Attendee Raffle As we have done in prior years, Warpstock will be holding an attendee raffle of various OS/2 trinkets, software and other memorabilia. This year, we have scheduled the raffle for the end of the day on Saturday and the closing session on Sunday. We will also be holding a special raffle during the Saturday night social event for those attending that event. We are also requesting that all of the Warpstock exhibitors consider donating prizes (software, T-shirts, whatever you’ve got) for the raffle. If you want to participate in this raffle opportunity, please contact the raffle coordinator, Luc Van Bogaert, luc.vanbogaert@pandora.be and let him know that you’re interested in participating, and what you will be contributing to the raffle. Luc will make arrangements to collect your raffle donations on the show floor, or provide you with a shipping address. Please do not ship any materials to the GICC for Warpstock attendee raffle. See shipping information for complete details.Attendee Bags All Warpstock attendees will receive a "goodie" bag at registration. We are offering all vendors an opportunity to include literature or other material (software) in the attendee bags. There will be no charge for participating in this. If you want to provide an insert for the attendee bag, please notify Luc Van Bogaert luc.vanbogaert@pandora.be. Please note that all material to be included in the attendee bags MUST be delivered to the GICC at 6pm on Friday. You will need to make your own shipping arrangements.
