bd on Discord asked for EMEX pics, well here's just one part way through setting up our stand with hendorog's help.
Finished, it will look very different and we'll do a further show and tell when it's all finished and functional.
Like our pissed off center sign ? ....well that's another story and I'll fill you all in later but hey, it does catch the eye. ![Grin ;D](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/xgrin.gif.pagespeed.ic.QVVz6XIT20.png)
Off-center not a problem... since it is perfectly aligned to the right corner. So it still looks tidy. Would look crap I agree, if it were neither center nor left/right aligned... but as long as it is aligned to something, it makes OCD happy I think ?! ![Evil >:D](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/xevil.gif.pagespeed.ic.tdrs7Uj5gu.png)
We had the opportunity to bend the rules with our overhead signage with no other exhibitor to our right otherwise we would have to keep signage 1m from the edge of our stand. The GM of the expo alerted us to this and specifically gave us dispensation to go fully to the RH edge.
All that black is a bit depressing... they didn't allow participants to come with their own "walls" ?! ![Confused :-//](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/confused0024.gif.pagespeed.ce.5xOqKkq0Co.gif)
They do and yes I see your point however when the layout is finished and all units lit up there'll be sufficient color to pull in the punters eye.....plus we'll have some instruments configured with activity on their displays and not just some boring old repetitive waveform.
I think how we have it set up will work out just fine.....more pics to follow.
" Taupaki Technonologies " ! Now your avatar makes perfect sense ! ![Grin ;D](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/xgrin.gif.pagespeed.ic.QVVz6XIT20.png)
Not only my avatar but the bigger part of my email is tautech, an abbreviation dreamed up last century before we even set up a company but dreaming that someday we might.
" Taupaki " also sounds exactly the same as the French " Taupe à qui ? ", interrogative sentence that means " Whose mole is that ?! " ![Laughing :-DD](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/smiley_laughing.gif.pagespeed.ce._hfWAz_QHO.gif)
Do you have moles in Australian Gardens ? I have one here in my back garden... well I used to... since I dug the ground and made the foundations for my 60m2 garage, I have not seen it...
" Taupe " here is also a popular word for a Spy....
Taupaki is the indigenous name for our location but according to a website just checked it does have a meaning:
Taupaki:
A kilt or loin-mat (rapaki) also fine-weather season.
The only spy I'm aware of around her is this fella that peddles TE which keeps a close eye on what all the other TE manufacturers are up to.

I am surprised by one thing.... the Siglent logo is tiny and hard to read, low contrast, barely noticeable ! Be it on your own banner or the promotional posters from Siglent's on the walls.
I took that pic some 25m away from the stand zoomed in on the cellphone to introduce granularity partly to protect hendorog's identity but also as it's looking straight down the access lane where all the punters walk.....and site 1002 was very carefully selected way back in 2019 for it's excellent visibility.
This is what we had to work from at that time as to where we'd like to be:
https://www.emex.co.nz/assets/Floorplans/Emex-2022-1-4-v14-Sold-150322.pdfNow in your case that's OK.. means you care about your business more than Siglent, which is logical, so would turn to another brand if a better one came up, you don't feel tied to Siglent that much.
However, in the case of Siglent OWN promotional posters, that's more weird... it makes it look like they want to flog you scopes but are ashamed of themselves somehow and don't want you to know they are the ones making these scopes... strange.
Well just 5 years ago almost no one had even heard of Siglent and yet now how many TEA members own one ?
I think it started when they selected a company name that in some small way poked a stick in the eye of Agilent whom changed their name to Keysight which goes to show even some jumped up little squirt upstart can make a difference in an industry like this.
Really it's been a meteoric rise for them and us and we can only be proud of being along for the ride.
Well regardless, wishing you the expo will bring you more customers ! ![ThumbsUp :-+](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/icon_smile_thumbsup.gif.pagespeed.ce._JElyJQqdB.gif)
Thank you very much Vince.

Ummm... I dunno aboot pissed off... but the guy in the hazard vest looks like he's doin' the "White-boy 2-step" and shuffling off to Buffalo... ![Laughing :-DD](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/smiley_laughing.gif.pagespeed.ce._hfWAz_QHO.gif)
mnem
At least give him a microphone to hold up to his face so he doesn't look like a total deer in the headlights. ![Shocked :o](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/xshocked.gif.pagespeed.ic.CrwtrNUjLO.png)

I'll tell hendorog to practice his moves and try and snap him doing those on you back floor spins....whatever they're called.
