Canadian Poker Expo

Graham · Mar 05,2009, 04:26 PM

I just found out today that I will be having a booth at the Canadian Poker Expo for PokerForum.ca. I have never done a show before, but have been to many. I am trying to think of what I can do to make the PokerForum.ca booth interesting, so I thought I'd ask here if anyone had any ideas. Of course I will throw in some casino cash for good ideas. Also as we get closer to the event I will do some things to give away some tickets.

For one thing...website design looks pretty impressive.

Maybe have a feature guest for the booth? I'll have more ideas later...need sleep

It should be a really good show. I was talking to the organizer today and they are getting FTP to bring a bunch of the pros, a model contest, plus a bunch of other cool things that they will probably post eventually on the site.

Not sure about the booth, but I bet I know who'd make an interesting greeter...

1) Touch the Kristy.

2) Sponsor Moose to hand out "Save 5c a year by only flushing every OTHER time" coupons

3) Lecture: The Blondefish patience factor nit-off: How to ensure any tournament you ever run will not be good enough

4) Represent yourself as the owner of 2+2 and rip off all their content.

5) Pin the penis on DrTyore. Big bonus cuz it's a small target.

6) Shrine to BBC Z.

Have Watt's WPT episode on a big screen.

Give out the pw to a forum only tourney and tell everyone that creates an account here and posts that you will pay their buyin.

Swag. Swag. Swag. Swag.

Kristy and Caddy live mudwrestling.

BBC hurling random insults to passerby.

Run a sng and let 13Cards make rulings that infuriate everyone.

Give out custom pokerchips with the url on it.

Hot models - all with xxxCindyxxx nametags.

Get Compuease dressed up as a pimp. He already has the hat. Just add a large feather.

Take photos of people that visit the booth and post their photo on the forum. If you have a roving photog handing out url stickers or something you can expand the reach of the booth. They can either be directed to your booth to see their photo posted on the forum or they can go home and surf it later as well.

Now this is something I could go for.... Can I bring them home with me....? On second thought, maybe not home, anyone got a condo downtown I can borrow?

Take a look at some of the previous WSOP expo exhibits and if you can duplicate some of those you will definitely get some attention.

Good ideas for these type of trade shows include getting some sort of banner made up and hanging it on a truss like they do with those import car shows. Then if you can grab a laptop and 2 flat screens you can show some of our premier members and list accomplishments of other forumers.

Have that rolling in a powerpoint with a quick animation demo of the site and what it has to offer and I think you will have a nice set up.

You may want to offer swag. The custom poker chip would be nice with the website address on it so people can come by and pick one up off a table
