Promoting LUGs at Comdex?

Posted by Cliff on from the showing-all-sides-of-the-group dept.

Our main focus this year has been promoting the professionals of the LUG, so that we aren't perceived only as a bunch of hackers and script kiddies. What kinds of methods and focuses [yes, it's incorrect spelling, but I like it this way] have other LUGs had for their presence at Comdex? Or are there any other LUGs at all that have been to Comdex?"

    On balance, do you think obstinately refusing to use the norms of communication will make people perceive you as more, or less "professional"?

    Uh, if you usually go to Comdex and you haven't noticed any other LUGs, why would you want to emulate their "methods and focuses"? Obviously they didn't work.
