I have been thinking about an event I did last year. it was a non profit company doing a conference out of town.

I'm considering if I do it again how I can make it more worth my while (in a marketing sense). I think one of the major problems was getting the word out. I was too dependent on the organizers to promote my business and I don't think that happened.

I also don't think it's right to request their email list to directly contact participants.

They offer vendor tables. Prior to the event, I would create a category on Smug so I could have a direct link to the conference, and advertise and promote that for easy navigation directly (i can include a flyer in their grab bag). On the table I could have some promotional items about my photography, pamphlets, cards, an email sign up sheet (I think I could manage that with the event feature in Smug?) I would also like to have a computer playing a slide show from Smug with the pictures from THAT conference, as I'm uploading them.

I think it would be a real hook for them to see a picture they like! I would use minimal PP, and probably set a print delay (does this work for downloads too?)

My main question is regarding the slideshow. How is it best to accomplish this? Ideally I want to have a Smug slideshow playing that will update as I add pictures to the gallery. Will this work?

One other thought, I would want to break up the event into smaller galleries. could I use a smart gallery to collect all the photos from the different sub galleries to display all of them in a slideshow?
