Perhaps we could additionally consider some kind of stand at the event? Minimally, we should have a flyer to distribute or perhaps get the flyer included in every delegate's conference pack? > Ah great! That is really good news. Whether we would have a flyer by then... I am not sure. I know the Comm team has planned to do so at some point, but putting together the right text for a SW flyer is not that easy. Of course, adding W3C flyers is possible. You may want to get the W3C German/Austrian Office in the event. They can provide extra publicity and offer you general W3C flyers in German, too.

And we should try to build up a 'speaker pool' at least on both sides of the pond who could represent SWEO in general.
