DON'T rely on buses to make round trips to get to venues DON'T try to squeeze the whole attendance of the event through one revolving door to a venue DON'T advertise "food and drink " when you mean a glass of fruit juice and finger food DON'T hold the group photo at a venue away from the main conference DON'T have music so loud it obliterates conversation On 18 Jul 2015 18:48, "Asaf Bartov" <abar...@wikimedia.org> wrote: > According to a volunteer at the registration desk just now, three buses > leave at 7:00, drop people at the museum, and then come back to pick up the > rest.
