Texas Bitcoin Conference Strategy Discussion

Hey everybody, I want to start talking about the Texas Bitcoin Conference in Austin on March 5-6.

We made some initial contacts in Miami about this.  I have written both the official request-to-be-a-speaker email address and also Paul Snow, the conference director, and have heard nothing back at all about getting to be a speaker to introduce NXT.  I think I may be getting deliberately ignored.  I sent another email this morning asking for a thumbs up / thumbs down statement from them about doing a talk for NXT, I'll let you know what I hear - or don't.

Whether or not they let me stand up and talk, I am going.  My jet ticket has been bought and I have reserved a car and hotel room about 5 miles from the site.  Now the question is, what do I do when I get there?

Do you want me to just walk around trying to hand out stuff or do you want me to sit behind a table that says NXT?

It's $2500 for a 2X2 foot square floor space (roughly a half-square meter, for an unmanned display) and $4000 for a seven foot long (two meter) skirted table with two chairs in the exhibit area.

If we get a table - then what?  I REALLY like the idea of running Salsacz'a Iceland video on endless 90 second loop if an NXT user in Austin can loan me a HDMI TV for two days.   What else can we get ready in 30 days?  2000 business cards?  2000 plastic 3D keychains?  2000 giveaway brochures?  What do they say?

If we are going to build off the great start we got in Miami to do even better in Austin, we need to start NOW !!!
