You should drag your measuring system around room to room. Take a 1 meter gated response showing speaker response only. Then move back to the listening position and show the response of the left speaker and right speaker (independently) with the room reflections.
I think it would be an interesting learning experience for many and might help sell your measuring system.

I think that's a wonderful idea in principle, but maybe a little bit annoying for the attendees. The measurement signal is not particularly pleasant to hear. I think most people will probably want to hear music instead of MLS bursts.
Still, I think it's a great idea, especially maybe after hours for those that are interested. Seems like Friday afternoons are perfect for this too, while everyone is getting dialed in. But Saturday afternoon would be kind of rough.
Here's mine: (scroll down to the "Vertical Nulls" link to see a video of the S&L system in action.)

I can easily make rounds with my laptop and a tester in tow. I can recall my own LSAF experience with my line source subs producing a rather big hotel room bump and dip. Not having any room treatment, the only option was to move the subs around to clear it up. Anyhow, all that is needed is an RCA line input into the system.
FWIW, the software supports MLS, noise, chirp and a sawtooth impulse. IMO, the impulse is a lot less annoying to listen to. And, in the new version signals can now be summed together and spectrum shaped. Look for "New Signal Types and Combining Signals" in the V6 release notes.

We will be bringing the Unison Research CDE tubed CD player with us for the Polk room, along with the Unison Research Nuovo integrated amplifier. The CDE has the optional optical DAC and features four ECC83 valves in the output stage.

Vapor Audio will be there again this year! It's looking to be a much improved show over last year, and I'm very much looking forward to it!
I might end up having two rooms. I'm looking at the Frisco conference room, which is unfortunately at the far end of the hotel past the breakfast area and pool. But I think I can setup enough signage that people will find me. And then if I do get a conference room, I'll try and bring some help so that I can setup and run another room in my sleeping room.
Companies I would represent:
Vapor Audio - likely a pair of Cirrus and Breeze, and also a new design called Cirrus White
BMC Electronics - their stereo amp called S1 and DAC called DAC1
Antipodes cables
Arte Forma - their KT88 based tube integrated called Else MkII

Hi Everyone, It looks like this will be a great fest. Last year was our first and we enjoyed it a lot. This year seems to be even bigger with lots of good things to see and hear. We will have the full line of products from the 1 watt / channel Alpha to a pair of the KT120 mono blocks. We will have several of the line stage preamps and a pair of the phono preamps. Everything is as before all valves in the active circuitry. Main source will be vinyl with CD and Blue Ray for backup. I expect to roll in Thursday PM so look me up if you get a chance. The gear will not be set up until Friday though.
I thought that I would post this update here as well.
There was some talk about me hosting a little after hours small two way speaker shoot out but I it hasn't materialized yet.
I contacted the local YG Acoustics dealer but he did not have any more Carmels on hand. Otherwise he was interested. YG Acoustics has been pushing some head to head comparisons in the past.
If any of you guys come up with some top level monitors or small floor standing speakers and want to do something like that then let me know. I do have a larger sized room that will be well treated. I'll have some top level gear there in my room as well. So it makes for a nice location.
It looks like I'll once again be showing with a pair of Super-V's. So if you guys have still not had a chance to hear a pair, now is your chance.
