In that particular case, let's say that Shapeblue drives this on behalf of ACS. Then you would donate the fabrication of the booth to ACS (via approval). You would also need to request approval for the design of said booth. Several companies could help out in sponsoring this event to pay for the booth and their respective sponsorship would need approval as well. You would not be allowed to promote shapeblue at this booth, but I can't see how you could not say "if you are looking for commercial services, here is my professional card when I don't represent ACS". I believe this would be acceptable. > > That's just a generic question.....my suggestion, cloudexpo is a long way off > and we've got lots of time o work this out. > > (my interesting and relevant fact for the day: In India they call a pop-up > exhibition stand "a standee" ) > > > > Kind Regards > Giles > > D: +44 20 3603 0541 | M: +44 796 111 2055 > [email protected] > > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Sebastien Goasguen [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: 29 April 2013 14:39 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Discuss - CloudExpo Europe 2014 > > > On Apr 29, 2013, at 9:23 AM, Chip Childers <[email protected]> wrote: > >> On Mon, Apr 29, 2013 at 09:36:16AM +0000, Giles Sirett wrote: >>> All >>> >>> I've just had a long chat with Magie Meer, who organises Cloudexpo Europe. >>> >>> For next years show (29/30 Jan, London) , they are going to do an >>> open cloud hall/area and want to give 3 or 4 cloud opensource >>> communities some free space at the show.
