You don't need to have a decision on folders yet: the content is far more important! We can decide folders much later. > Frankly speaking the sample they sent me looked a bit flaky and > unprofessional, but hey, it might be enough for us? I'm sure that there's more than one option. > A few things to consider: > 1. Are 300 folders sufficient, seeing that we have 253 so far? No, we have 290 booked now, final numbers may be 350-400. Again, we don't need a decision on numbers until much later, so for now get costs on 350. > 2. How many pages of A4 papers do we think we would have in total? I could > imagine we would need schedule, info about speakers, maps, promotional > materials. I mailed you and Steve last week with my thoughts on what is needed, but the actual contents are up to you, provided that you get final approval from the committee. To remind you, this is what I said then: """ I guess it should have: * Talks Abstracts and Speaker Bios/Pix as on the website - can be supplied in pickle format. * Delegate list * Timetable * Map of venue (interior) * Surrounding street map with useful places, hotels, pubs, restaurants, cash points etc marked. Alex may help. * List of pubs, restaurants, attractions etc. * Directions, including airport and how to get a reasonably-priced taxi, and how not to get ripped-off by the taxi driver * Sponsors adverts if they want * Announcement for next years EuroPython * Feedback form (I have one). """ > Any info from previous years? No. Last year we just did delegate lists, feedback forms and timetables. We already have these organised in that the registration system will produce PDFs we can print ourselves, so our fallback is that we just do these ourselves the day before. > 3. Turn around time is about 5 working days, so we have to finalize the > design/schedule/etc by then. But planned a little sooner I hope. > 4. Personally, I like the folder printer by VistaPrint better > (http://www.vistaprint.co.uk/presentation-folders.aspx?xnav=TsrItem&xnid=aFoldersBusiness+Identity&dng=Business+Identity) because > you can print on the pocket (and cheaper as well, only £150 for 250 > folders). The one from dpsprint comes with transparent plastic sleeve that > looks a bit dodgy. Don't worry about the folder now, just the contents. We can get folders anywhere. > I have also enquired about the cost of printing the inserts with dpsprint. > Assuming a 20 pages insert x 300, the cost for B&W laser printing on 100 gsm > silk paper is £285 + vat. We could probably ask them to group the inserts > together, but I am assuming we have to do the final assembly (ie, putting > the inserts inside the folder). This can be done during the day on the > registration table. Alternatively, someone can volunteer to print using > their laser printers, but I reckon 300 x 20 is quite a lot, any brave soul > out there? Not worth it if we have substantially more than the lists we had last year. We have better things to do. The good thing about DPS is that we know them and they will print at the last minute and deliver them personally to the venue. > Let me know what you guys think, and who I should contact to arrange for the > payment. Don't worry about the payment, as long as we've agreed the cost before you commit to anything: DPS will invoice us (The PyCon UK Society) and we'll look after the payment. Thanks!
