SHOUT if you're at i-40

Spent a bit of time looking through the site last night, might have to attend i41 at this rate. Do most people do the full 3 days/get the early bird add on?

How does it work with security on your kit at the end of the evening? Do they lock up the rooms, or have security in there? Or (and I'm hoping it's this) there's just a proper sense of decency and "look out for your mates" spirit?

There's generally a look out for your mates spirit.

They don't shut the halls as it's 24/7. Kensington stuff up, and take your peripherals back to the car to prevent theivery.

Practically everyone does the full 3 days unless you're one of those hardcore tournament types who go home when they are knocked out. :p A lot of people do early bird as well as they normally are set up quite quickly so it's basically extra time added on.

They have security on each entrance who are supposed to check any kit that is taken out or in the venue. Last time I went you put stickers on your main bits of hardware and these matched with your pass. Small things like your keyboard, mouse, headset etc should really be taken with you at night. Security occasionally pop around but otherwise everyone looks out for each other’s kit (obviously this will depend on who you sit near!). The best thing to do is to replace the screws on your case with proper ones (not thumb ones) and try and lock your case and monitor to your desk somehow (something like a Kensington lock would do it). That would stop a lot of opportunist thieves.

Cool, I had a feeling there would be a good spirit of camaraderie amongst the masses regarding security and personal belongings. Good to know there's also some other measures taken against that kind of thing. I can't imagine it would happen that often, as to do so would be a pretty bold thing to do with people all around but there's always bound to be one or two chumps around to spoil someone's weekend.

Good shouts on the tips, I think I've got a couple of Kenny locks kicking about at home as well. :)
