STERPH

If you're planning on spending a few more days in and around Vancouver during your trip, check out the next blog post coming out tomorrow on ltxexpo.com for some ideas of things to do  

Hopefully late February, I will make sure to do a dedicated post here and through social media once we have the details locked down.
 
You'll have to get everyone to autograph your t-shirt, but we might offer a few pre-signed shirts for a fee and donate to charity at the merch booth.
 
Can't say anything yet but we have a booth idea that involves the following things: cameras, RC cars, VR, and a cockpit...
 
Not sure what the setup will look like, but plan on moving WAN Show that week to the weekend so we can do it at LTX.
 
Funny you should mention this, we haven't officially announced it but we're hosting an actual "Linus Roast" event in a few months, sponsored by Madrinas Coffee and our LTT Roast.  
 
We'll be livestreaming quite a bit of the event this year.

Did I miss anything? @STERPH
 

I heard that you guys will be doing audio comparisons with all the headsets Linus has which I'm totally interested in. What about the same for keyboards? Mx blue vs red vs brown etc. Maybe throw some oddballs in there like Razer's green switches and some that aren't cherry mx? I'd be so interested in that!

One thing I've always dreamed of was sitting in a reclining chair, drinking an adult beverage and listening/watching the WAN Show live next to the camera... Audience Style, with "Clap" and "Silence" signs... then laughing my ass off when someone eats Ghost Reaper Jerky...
 
So: WAN Show with Audience presence??? Cam over audience to hosts as the hosts arrive *late* (But Linus Mean Time covers that, so w/e... I'm getting a "Who's Line is it Anyway?" vibe from that though)

Follow up to my first post:
1. Movie Night -- Portable Projector Project BUT We MUST watch Hackers!
 
2. On site AMA
 
3. Roast your Fav. LTT member
 
4. Tim Horton's Coffee, Doughnuts, And Hot Chocolate. 

I don't agree. My trip to LTX 2018 was my first time in Canada and It was well worth the several thousand miles flight.  I can't wait to spend an entire week there instead of just a single day.
 
Flying to Seattle might be easier for you, but it's not easier for LMG.
 
Where did you get data about "Most people"  did you do a survey, because I didn't get to participate?

I would like sponsor booths so I could buy some items from LTT's sponsors like Corsair and Savage Jerky.

Lol I'm down, let's do it @STERPH

If you guys are looking for more games to fill up space, we run a VR escape room business. We have a 2-6 player, free roam escape room in a 20x20ft space. You get full body avatars and your avatar's mouth even moves when you talk.
You can even test it out in Santa Ana, California.

You guys have probably thought of this already, but since the expo is downtown at the convention center, perhaps you can hit up the Pan Pacific and some of the other decent hotels in the west end and see if they would be willing to offer some discounts on hotel stays for the convention visitors attending?

Anyway -- I unfortunately missed the last 2 events and I only can guess at the many things that was present, but here's my input:
 
1. Special Guest Star -- Nick Van Berkel
> We all miss Nicky V and his Nicky V Customs skit, it was enjoyable and fun to watch. Depending on how soon death of the Lambo comes, I'd say bring him along for the ride and have him co-host the video and make it "One last video for CSF". Speaking of such destruction, may I suggest "DriveTanks.com" - They're in Texas, but they WILL let you drive tanks, not sure about running things over (I've not been there yet). Perhaps having him at LTX afterwards to personally showcase the destruction/video; and maybe co-host that week's WAN show too, but make it the NAW show.. or Afterparty.
 
2. I'm not sure how involved JayzTwoCents and BSMods were, but I'd like to see the two come together and give hands-on demonstrations of how to mod your case and stuff, "Delidded with Roman (der8auer)" would be GREAT to see.
 
3. The first LTT video I ever watched was Linus and Luke on the WAN Show Archive, dressed up like Clowns circa 2013/2014, been a fan ever since. I'm not sure where I'm going with this idea, but it's an idea.
 
4. On more of the logistics side, I'd like to see a list of hotels that you all recommend along with transportation to/from the 2 day event.
 
5. Linus Autographed Drop Test & Give Away ??? 
 
6. Adult (18/19+) "Chill" event, BYOB. Bonfire & Movie (Drive-In Movie Theater style)
 
7. Laser Engraving -- not operated by us peasants:  But give us the ability to bring something or have something there that we can purchase and get engraved for our rig or whatnot. I'd laugh if someone was being a troll doing it and put a dick-butt on my stuff instead.
 

When I went to the LTX 2017 I was kind of hesitated since the price of the flight was about 600 USD from Virginia to BC. But I made it in the end :). No more hesitation this year! Working for a reputable airline now, just flew from China to US for 600 USD round trip, in business class!
 
Please do not host this event on Mars, other than that, I’m happy with whatever you guys come up with!

I hope it's in the Fraser Valley so I can come.

Just promise us it won't be in the US, every big event always happens in the US and I hate it. For the once I actually get to go to a fun event that's popular and ITS IN CANADA. I recommend bringing Terry Crews to do some old spice LTT commercials.

The raffling/giveaway of swag could be more organized or sped up. Assuming that attendance will increase greatly, the barrier to entry for giveaways could be increased so that only those willing to put some effort in will get a chance. This decreases the number of hopeful but inevitably disappointed people, and helps make it so that only those that really need/want computer parts and peripherals will try for it.
 
For example, PAX has "PAX XP" where you scan QR codes at scavenger hunt-like locations. If the convention center doesn't have cheap/reliable wifi, you could just have people take pictures of hidden items/stickers/labels.

I won't be able to go, but I think a lot of people would enjoy a little LAN center where they can bring their own PCs and maybe game with some LMG staff or something. That would be cool.

I would really like if the entire convention for LTX 2019 was live streamed as a video and preferably not edited out so that the viewers could get see the full experience if they were not able to attend the event.
 
The Q&A part of the event was really awesome in my opinion and it allowed for the crew to answer some really interesting questions presented by the audience and it is something which I would like to see again. Besides that, I  other concepts could be like a compute or server building booth, a learning booth towards technology and computer systems, and maybe something similar to last year's car decorating booth such as maybe another one although with some other item to decorate such as possibly like a really large poster or there could be like a station for decorating your own LTT shirt or something creative along those lines.
 
I hope that this has given you some concepts which could be possibly implemented in the upcoming LTX 2019, I am very excited towards what will be featured in this year's event and know that it will be absolutely incredible.   - @Boomwebsearch

Stream it so those of us that can't afford to fly from US east coast can be included ?

Add a LAN party ?

I think having meet and greets/booths with other techtubers would be interesting. (i.e. when Jayztwocents and Barnacules came last year, they have their own little booth or something)

perhaps something like, "Linus's slipper fingers".  make people wear gloves and cover them in some type of very slippery lubricant.  They then need to carry some token part or object across a distance without dropping it.
