Tech Best Practices
- DO purchase a wired connection if your booth is planning a demo or other internet-dependent activity.
- Do NOT bring outside equipment that requires power (outside of personal devices such as cell phones and laptops) into the venue.
- Do NOT bring audio devices or order speakers. Speakers are not allowed, and general exhibitor noise level cannot exceed 50 decibels. If noise level is disruptive in any way, CNCF and the Linux Foundation reserve the right to request for adjustments to be made.
- Do NOT play videos on loop with audio.
- Do NOT channel bond. Use the 2.4 GHz channel. If using the 5 GHz channel, it should be on 20 MHz wide.
- Do NOT use Wi-Fi hotspots, and avoid setting up your own network in the Solutions Showcase. These are unlikely to function well and will slow wireless down for everyone else.
- Do NOT use Chromecasts, Apple TV, or similar wireless casting/networked AV devices.
- DO bring any HDMI, Ethernet, or other required adapters for your laptop or other playback devices.
- DO download slide decks and large files ahead of the event.
- DO remember to bring power adapters!
