<br>Disclosure: I'm one of the Brucon organizers.<br><br>My take on the request. I didn't want anyone, including the sponsors to start with booths. This was going to be a non-commercial event unlike <a href="http://infosecurity.be">infosecurity.be</a>.<br>
<br>This is why I'm not in favor of any booths. But I'm in favor of 'hacking' communities. Toool.nl and various <a href="http://hackerspaces.org">hackerspaces.org</a> will be present like Randomdata, HSB, Syn²cat and /tmp/lab.<br>
<br>They get some 'space' to promote their community. So some presence in the hacklounge. A small desk where they can show some of the stuff they hack together. Some of them will give workshops.<br><br>Our prices range from 50€ (students) to 180€ which is about the price of a combo-ticket to Rock Werchter. Consider us a "tech" festival but with comfy chairs and wifi to sit in.<br>
<br>The concept is a little bit Defcon/CCCongress style but with our own little twist. The event is shaped by the volunteers and since it's the first edition, a lot has still to be defined.<br><br>If you have any comments or suggestions, drop me a message.<br clear="all">
