Official TCG at Chicago Auto Show Thread *updated for 2016*

[RedBeard]

Plan on working a weekday at the CMC booth. Could possibly do 1/2 a day there half a day in TCG booth. Will let you know what day I might be available.

We used to take the train into McCormick place. It lets you off right in the basement and there aren't any parking costs.

 

[Atomicles]

If it weren't for social anxiety and general lack of car knowledge, I'd volunteer to do this. I'll definitely be sure to drop by when I go though.

Suggestion: How about instead of just a laptop for people to signup, you have a QR code so they can signup on their cell phones?

 

[StrobinSS]

Could probably cover 12pm-6pm on 16th, how soon do you need to know specific time by?

 

[Flyn]

QR code is a great idea. Can someone set this up? We have a lot of talented guys on the site. How about linking the QR to the site FAQs? Give the new members an easy intro point into the site thanking them for joining and showing them around.

Printouts of the specs/info on the display cars would be invaluable for the guys manning the booth. If people have questions you only have to look up the car and you will sound like an automotive genius. Put them in a few binders and leave them on the TCG table for whomever is manning the booth.

I think some print outs about the cars or the site would be a great idea... Also maybe a cool video of highlights - 1/2 mile, Bru in the hellcat, collage of members cars, etc., etc.

Even if it's just playing on a laptop... I have an extra one we can use, had a pretty big screen

Sooner the better.

 

[Rebel]

I wish I was in town for this.

 

[Smokinhot]

Mook, can you do a +1 for the 21st for me? If you alright with the girlfriend being the rep lol.

 

[willizm]

I'll probably be there for a day or at least half day.

[MENTION=5]Mook[/MENTION] or [MENTION=12]Bru[/MENTION]

will you need our real names to put on a list or something for us to pick up the passes?

Yes, I'll reach out to volunteers once we have a more complete list. I'll be putting your names in a system that the auto show will use to print exhibitor passes when you pick it up the day of your duty.

A weekend is best for me, but if we need a day covered I'll see what I can do.

The QR above takes you to the sign in page as it is, which is pretty ideal.

 

[Bru]

I'll print a QR code for my ass. Will get plenty of attention.

 

[Mook]

We should try and keep this thread on topic

 

[Eagle]

I dont think Joe likes QR codes... or maybe he's drinking.

 

[Bru]

QR code is already marketing history. Who here has a QR code reader app on their phone? No one knows what they are.

[Bru]

I do support some way to register members at the event. Whoever mans the booth would be responsible for that and making sure whatever hardware we use is either locked up or secure through the day when they're not at the booth.

 

[boostedguy05]

this site is very mobile friendly,

have a stack of stickers there and people will go nuts!

 

[Bru]

Volunteer responsibilities updated in first post.

 

[boostedguy05]

[MENTION=5]Mook[/MENTION] i got my days mixed. I can do Sunday the 22nd. Same time frame as before

 

[StrobinSS]

Sooner the better.

Count me in for minimum 12-6pm on the 16th if still needed. Could be there earlier if wife's doctor appointment is quick.
