The Welcome
Welcome packets
The welcome was a core part of the RealtimeConf experience.
In addition to an intensely crafted set of materials created by a team led by Amy Lynn Taylor, the &yet team wrote two hundred unique welcome letters as characters from the Something Greater than Artifice world.
All RealtimeConf attendees received:
- Laser engraved name tags
- Top secret envelope with the laser cut wooden sticker of their nation's seal
- Uniquely customized passports from the Something Greater than Artifice world
- Personalized "Seals" (stamps with @twitter handles on them for stamping passports)
- Mini flag from their nation
- Welcome letters
- Nerd merit badges
- T-shirt(s)
- Confbill programme
- Place cards
- Kazoos
- Foreshadowing lollipops
...all opened after marching into the conference hall with the Tech Republic marching band during the Traditional Tech Republic Mimosa Toast.
