• Focused handout that describes: use case, standards, context, links to organizations to follow up with, solid why to attend the showcase, why they specifically need to know
• Meter Board/ Posters- with handout content, use case,
• Marketing- larger signage, flexible signage
• Working with the conference- remind attendees to attend the showcase during the day, announcement
• Pre-marketing- Interoperability 101 for attendees to build excitement, think about different terms we can use to describe it

Follow-up:

• Connect with the vendors who participated to find out why they decided to participate- Bronwen
• Write up the process, success, challenges of the demonstration- Bronwen, maybe a blog
