Call it something clever, LAN party 2.0 maybe?

Get sponsors: energy drinks, Cisco for switching unless using wifi

Set goals, host presentations showing what was developed or learned from last session

Thanks for the suggestions! LAN party 2.0 is such a fun name Right now I only have about 10 people for the very first session, so I feel a bit shy about approaching sponsors just yet. When you mentioned “set goals” — could you share a bit more detail on what kind of goals you’ve found useful? For example, is it more like giving everyone a clear topic for the session, or setting longer-term goals like building projects together?
