This is what we learned from Geek Fair 2006.

(See also Geek Fair 2005 Debrief)

General

  • Big ticket items should be paid for an extra day in advance in case anything goes wrong. ($1750 for tents broke our debit card limt and caused too much scurrying around at the last minute.)
  • Better communication about where to point volunteers that show up late and ask staff members what they're supposed to do.

Silent Auction

  • Remember to announce widely before closing off auction

Raffle

  • Start selling tickets earlier. We could have made more money.
  • Announce the drawing. Clarify if it's "must be present to win" or not.

Food

  • There should be soda available for those that don't drink beer. There was juice, but people requested soda.
  • Maybe print volunteer tickets like "Beer * Beer * Food" in a strip, rather than three separate tickets.
  • One of the venders was located in the back of the tent, many people may have not known they were there.
