Podcast: Doctor is "In"

Harry - I interviewed Ed Deydrich and Chanel Lockheart of the Doctor Is "In" booth at NECC 2005. [ mp3 ]

Info Booth

Large space, included representatives from NECC staff, PAETC volunteers, Convention Center staff. Locals are a benefit to help explain local geography. The booth had a large format printout of events (two large-sized pages) per day.

Other comments – many compliments, coupled with some small defect. Bluetooth download stations’ software is not as good as last years’ – they were missing the capability to zoom in on maps. Last day bag storage (not that this is managed by the Info booth) should be extended to include all conference days, but in the meantime, they are recommending that attendees use the Marriott or their own hotel.

The Doctor Is "In", Conference Planning Tech Center

Provides printing, browsing and conference planning assistance. The tools provided were Gateway profile machines and laser printers. They were set up on what is clearly a bar, complete with bar stools. Four desktops are set up with two tall printers. Extra paper is available. Will check on ink.

Other comments - located in out of the way location, but near exhibit hall. Offered during minimal hours. The printers were not correctly set up for day 1 on Tuesday, so they were not functional. Day 2 didn’t start until 10:00am.
