    Your room number is NOT #714!!!

    By all the dumb luck in the world, I get the room number that matches the booth of the company that's sponsoring room check-in.

    So far two people have tried to check into my room.

    I'm actually switching rooms soon and this will be someone else's problem, but please folks, check your room info properly

    I asked, and they said they would hook something up in an hour or two. They should leave 714 empty unless they have 100% booking. I can just see hundreds of people stumbling back from one of the parties trying to get into room 714, because that's the number on their card

    On my way to my new room, I informed the front desk of this possibility. They agreed it was both potentially embarrassing and at a very base level, extremely funny. Let's see who gets stuck with #714. It'll be a fun game! Post here if you get (and keep) this room - winner gets a prize

    More to the point, why does the booth number have to be on the card in the first place? I don't know anyone who looks up booths by number.

    I looked at my card and thought it was room #714 too... just glanced, until the person I'm with was like "you're on 19, I'm on 16" and I then more carefully checked the little key holder lol.
    If that hadn't happened, I would have also been one to try and get into #714

    Perhaps you were picked #714 for a reason, you may now have initiated a chain reaction of evil.

    You didnt post anything on Friday the 13th so perhaps you skipped something you should not have skipped

    I am pondering what the prize could be. Wonder what room number I will get. My train is running late so I probably won't check in until 1am.

    this is a marketing opportunity. companies pay for internet traffic. this is highly targeted foot traffic.

    could be good fodder for a company blog, too.

    Ditto. We mainly just look for whatever vendor has the best giveaways a product or service that most closely aligns with our corporate synergy initiatives.

    Ha, I just checked in and the guy mentioned to not go to room 714. They're leaving it empty now.

    A room is cheaper than a booth... should setup in room 714!
