On occasion, Free Geek representatives go to events and staff a table full of information about our organization. The PR committee oversees these trips.

Right now, we only tend to accept tabling opportunities if we can find an appropriate core volunteer to staff the table, as there's often little publicity that actually happens. We're trying to track how successful each of these events has been, though.

Where to table?

Here's a list of places we've staffed a table with some info so we can figure out if we want to do it again next year. Please use this format if you list an event:

  • Event name/Organization
  • Date
  • Who staffed the Free Geek table
  • Approx. how many people attended the event?
  • How many people did he/she talk to?
  • Should we do it again (be brutal!)?
