If you want to reserve first and prepare your table, the doors to the North Creek Event Center opens: Tuesday, March 9 – 4pm; Thursday, March 11 – 3pm
Tables are arranged around the room. You should claim your table: first come, first served. These are folding tables that measure at 6 feet x 2.4 feet. As long as it’s legal and safe, you have a lot of latitude regarding your table display. You should not have your displays impinge onto your neighbor’s area.
Each presenter on your team must be enrolled in the class with the following exceptions: 1) one-person teams can bring one person from outside to help present; 2) the facebook team is only allowed to use 4-persons to present.
Non-presenters can help with manipulating demos or presentations or inserting material into the presenter hands. The non-presenters must not speak to the audience. Non-presenters must not disrupt other teams.
All presenters must stay in the area near their table (except for restroom breaks). They must not stray into another person’s area. This is promote gentle conduct between teams.
If you need electrical power, be sure to bring an extension cord and perhaps a “power bar”. We’ll need to share outlets.
Note change: No voice amplification allowed.
You may “market” hell night and your team through social media or company websites. You may post comments at the Hell Night Facebook page.
With the instructor’s permission, you may make announcements at classes and pass handouts that drive students to your booth. It should not include detailed business plan information. You can use a slogan, logo, and brief one-paragraph description or enticement.
You may pass handouts to hell night visitors anywhere on campus EXCEPT in the the North Creek Event Center until the event begins. If the visitors want to know more, you can say: “My professor has forbidden us to talk about it until the event starts but we’re the best. Come visit our booth at the North Creek Event Center and you’ll see why.” The optimal place to catch visitors is at the stairs near the North Creek Ctr or on the walkway along UW1.
On Thursday, the visitors will normally be given small envelopes with a set amount of play money. Some of the investors will be given large (5″ x 8″) envelopes that contain much more cash. A very special small group will have abnormal amounts of play money (up to 20x): their envelopes will have color stickers on it.
After the tradeshow ends, your team should place all its money into the provided envelope and hand it to an adviser or alum (e.g. Adina, Mike, George, Richard, Abbie, Dan). You should then feel free to network with the audience until the program starts.
