We have one table reserved at TechFest. Here's what we'll need to assemble to make it good.
- Table staffers. Should be ready to talk to visitors, hand out giveaways, be generally friendly, field questions, and hold down the fort. You don't need to know too much - "I don't know" is an OK answer! (We can offer to email people back with answers to questions we don't know offhand.)
