Eat ahead of time. The noms are good, but volunteers get fed at the same time as guests. And when they flow out is when you're supposed to be presenting, which is not really ideal. If TEDx is open to ideas, mayhaps volunteers could make a plate while the talks are being presented. I heard a couple of non-maker volunteers grump the same suggestion.
Guests are deeply impressed with things that move and are shiney.
Tim saved the day by bringing business cards. Bring a good stack.
The event has a reception afterwards, plan on not even starting packing up till that's over.
Electric Vehicles were placed on the side entrace. They need to be at the entrance to the event so that people walk past them.
