In general, a recording of pictures and tone shall be considered. However, we do not have a technical solution yet. Possibilities are to be checked by us in the near future.

Auditorium equipment (keynotes and market place)

For a market place (approximately 8 m²) additionally we organize the following basics: office table (160x80 cm) or high table, electricity (230V, 6A), 2 chairs. On top of that, we provide a meta board, which can carry printouts on both sides. An example of such a board can be found here. The provided meta board will have comparable dimensions and material.

Any additional equipment requests are to be addressed separately to the conference organization team. It is possible to send material in parcels of normal size to a postal address of the location. The post office of the location is in a different building, hence we need to take care about fetching your parcels from there. Please get in contact with the conference organization team to what extend you want to ship upfront.

Your booth presentation will be close to some others and shall not interfere (e.g. noise).

Dress code

There is no set dress code and, like many open source events, attendees will dress in a range, from jeans to suits. Our recommendation is business casual.
