I work for a small company that is doing an event in DC in two weeks. We have literally about a truckload of paperworks to print and take it to the event. So much so that, it turns it is cheaper to drive a truck to Washington DC than use standard shipping options. I and my co-worker are thinking about driving over there together.

These paperworks are handouts to the attendees at a conference we are organizing.

I am wondering if anyone here had some insights on avoiding this. I would ideally like to not print anything at all, but handout CDs with all the materials in it. But we worry if everyone will be there with a computer. And handing out CDs seem so 2005.

I did send an email to Steve Jobs asking if he would be interested in donating iPads. :-)

Time and again, I come across articles on HN and other tech site that talk about the Corporate culture at Google and Microsoft. We see images of Google Employees skateboarding in their offices and game station they have in their offices.

But I have never seen anything about Apple and its corporate culture. I don't think anybody there tweets either.

I am aware of Apple secretive nature about its products, but I was not sure if this applied to other parts of the company as well.

Does anybody has any idea?

Thanks.

I work for a non-profit organization that promotes citizen involvement in public issues. We are doing a big event in Washington DC in a couple of months.

I was wondering if I could get some advice from fellow hackers about technology to use during this event such webcasting, getting people to participate online (your personal experience would be even better).

Our main goal is to get a lot of people (young and old) excited about this event. What I am looking for is technology ideas that can be used via website and social media outlets to promote/generate interest.

Thanks.
