I do have the one photo of me with the family in front of it. You can see a little of the booth (one computer with my Wacom), and the banner shows up. I was about to throw it up on Google+ as soon as I get home.

Martin,
So, I don't have a booth photo, but if you look to the far right, you
can see how our banner at the front of our booth is pretty effective
at improving our visibility. :) https://flic.kr/p/riaxbi (I'm still
looking for photos of it)
Cheers,
Josh
