ECAC-SIDA: Setup

Getting the booth set up at ECAC-SIDA is always an adventure due to
some the unique spaces that we have been placed in. At the larger
shows, there is generally a exhibit hall that is large enough to berth
a 747 - not so usually at this smaller show.

One year we had to leave the ends off of our tradeshow display in
order to cram it into a tight location - another year we were pushing
up tiles because the ceiling was about two inches shorter than the
display. And don't get me started about our setup in the manta ray
tank that one year - I still have the scars.

So we were excited this year to have ample room to fit our tradeshow
display and associated ephemera without violating any fire codes and/
or causing any irreparable aquatic wildlife harm. We're all set up in
the lobby of the Golden Inn, awaiting registration and the roll call
of familiar faces to formally begin.
