Some events have a registration table planted right by the door so that 
people can sign in, pickup their handouts, make a name tag, pay for lunch, 
etc. Now that we have one ingress to the meeting room, we may be able to 
implement this. We might want to put a table in the hallway because we 
have so little sq foot in 3002. Once the presentation starts we can put a 
sign out in the hallway to tell people to sign in.

Staffing this table would be a great co-host duty.

We do need a cohost for tomorrow btw... Hint hint!

Thanks,
