content: Quote from: EEVblog on August 29, 2012, 01:54:51 amWill they come with a user manual?QuoteIt may blow the budget, but custom printed mousepads are hard to beat, particularly if you can put useful information on the pad - like the pinouts of common transistors/regulators/LEDs - plus of course, links to all your sites. Perhaps you can talk an advertiser into fund the pads if you mention them on the pads as a sponsor.The best mousepad I have owned was actually a round pad, and it makes the pads different. A 190mm round pad is actually better to use then a rectangular pad.Here is one supplier:http://www.mousematsdirect.com.au/Mousemat_prices.pdf

content: That's great! Definitely bring along some uCurrents - any other projects you'd want to show off? Other than that (considering the nature of your 'business', I'm having a hard time coming up with stuff). Maybe some t-shirt give-aways with both EEVblog and YouTube logos (in order to advertise the channel - I know I'm stating the obvious).Any plans to attend any other events?Oh, definitely get some footage, btw. Would make for a good upload.

content: Set it up all studio-like, and do interviews with people at the show. You can live-stream it, and cut it into a few eevblog episodes for later.

Not cheap or quick to get to.I think a life-size cutout is obligatory! It can man the stand while I'm gone shooting.Dave.

content: Get some screwdrivers (#1 Pozi, obviously) printed with "Don't turn it on, take it apart". Or at least some stickers.Live teardown of something big?.. or just a big display of completely random testgear, teardown remains, prototypes etc. and a huge pile of wire, with no explanation. Just to confuse the hell out of people, then record the puzzled queries of visitors as to what's going on.

content: Quote from: Fox on August 31, 2012, 10:27:57 amYes, you have to register. If you don't pre-register, you may not get in for free on the day.And technically you have to be in "the trade" to attend. But if you are just a hobbyist, just put down a fake business name or whatever, or whatever company you work at, they don't checkHeaps of students go too.Dave.
