Kalin and JAM had the idea of making fold-able fliers. Only when properly 'made' would the user get the full sales pitch. Each member could have one or two on hand, fully assembled so that people get the idea. One panel of the flier would give directions, and the folds would be marked.
And example might be to: 1: Fold a paper airplane. 2: Lay out the text areas and what we want to say where 3: Unfold, trace the lines and scan the whole bit into the computer 4: overlay the true graphics, using the scan as a guide. 5: Print and enjoy.
Thanks to Kalin, we now have a solid design for our booth structure. It will be two triangle trusses turned upright, made from simple mechanopipe that he will sell to THS at cost. Attached to the front of each will be wire rack where we can hang products, posters, EL wire, etc.
This will leave the table free for bulky items and working demos.

I have made a few things out of such pipes including a double bed frame.
Relatively easy to cut pipes to length with a pipe cutter (I have
one), then assemble/dissemble with a hex wrench in various
configurations.
Based on the rough sketches we did with MRE, (HJ-1 x 4 + HJ-2 x 2 + 4m
pipe) x 2 corners is what we need, rough cost 12000.
If we live without the sides (HJ1 x1 + HJ-2 x2 +2m pipe) x2, roughly half price.
I'll bring what I have at home and we'll build a prototype to see if
optimization is worth it (it will be less stable).
