Checkin Process? What to do before hand?

**Bunni** · 08-11-10, 10:24 PM

What can we do to speed up check-in? I heard someone mention something about having to enter the serial numbers of all hardware your logging in? Any confirmation on this?

Heres the waver (thanks to TxKicker for posting the link):

Zer0 reserved spots for us @ b25/26

I believe the serial numbers are actually the ones they assign to your hardware, not whats on your actual hardware (since most of the boxes will probably be custom built, i.e. no serial numbers).

You'll need to bring your own Internet source Bunni. No internet connection in the BYOC. I'm bringing my 3G modem.

Here's how it works...

You wait in line with gear until they send you to these floorpad things. By now you should have the waiver completed. Then you get your gear out on the pad. If you are QdQ you go straight to the badge desk, if you aren't then you go to the laptops and fill out all the info. At the badge desk they will take your waiver along with photo id and print your tag. Then you are assigned a "runner" to go stick specific barcodes on your gear. After that you go to the byoc entrance where they check all your gear into the byoc.

Don't bring network cables or computer components(video cards, hard drives, etc that are outside of the case.) They will take them up.

So leave my external hd at the hotel?

What about those of us without gear? Do I need to stay in the byoc line? You got two lines, byoc and qdq.

They weren't doing normal registration yet since they didn't want non-volunteers in the work area. Normal registration will probably be all but the gear stickers and the check in.
