That's what I was worried about. That was our bad on not briefing on the rotation of the lanes. Next year we will keep the rotations I think, but have a staff member rotate with the group to keep it from getting messy.
Also, I think we will start earlier in the day so that vendors that don't sell night vision get their money's worth, everyone can meet and greet in the daylight, and you can have twice as much time to shoot because you can hit each lane during the day as well. Thoughts?

I think just letting everyone roam would be a real mess. Some of the popular lanes might get backed up. Then everyone might not get a chance at every lane. That might also be unfair to the vendors. Having it broken into small groups that moved between stations was a good idea. I think explaining the rotation from the start would have helped. Also some of the lanes ran smoother than others. I would think the vendors might make some changes if they did it again also. They might be able to give you some helpful feedback. It was a great event. I don't know of any other event where you could go hands on with that much gear. And even gear not yet released or unavailable to the public.

Keep the rotations, but as you said, if that would have been a part of the briefing I believe it would have gone much smoother.
Other than that, the event was a freaking blast, and was set up very well. The cap on the event was as good as it can get, I think if there were 10-20 more people, it would just be too much.
One suggestion I have for next year is throwing another hour into shooting time, so folks won't be as rushed.
Thanks for putting this whole thing together, it was just plain awesome.
You better email me the minute tickets go on sale next year!
P.S. The shirts are the bee's knees. Very soft, comfortable, and they breathe very well. If you're doing them next year, get the same brand.
