Yeah i agree with you on the last point there.

I really like your t-shirt design! So cool. Gotta add a selection in your "Where did you hear about us?" form for "T-shirt"!

That is a really good point. The conference is at least game/entertainment oriented so I'm hoping that some of the vendors will be game developer types. I guess we shall see.

Veronica Belmont is speaking, and Billy West, so even if we don't get some folks, we at least get to see cool people :)

I like the T-shirt idea and really just the attitude of spur of the moment making it happen kind of marketing. Step 3 seems a bit much.

We just started marketing a start-up for the first time and this article led me to question an upcoming situation: If I was unable to secure vendor space at a conference/expo, would it be ethical for me to wear my company t-shirt and have cards/fliers available for people who ask me about it? Would it be appropriate for me to talk to vendors about my company?
