Why not have a box+wifi access point with local copies for download? Should be pretty quick over local lan for the downloads, plus people could do that during talks, not just in between talks. Also, regarding the "challenge" to get a USB key or some other swag, the challenge could reside on the box with the images (I'm envisioning something like a Fedora python challenge [0]). Talking to MarkDude in #fedora-mktg, he thought there could easily be a FAD to develop something like this. It would by no means replace physical media, but might be able to extend the visibility of the Fedora booth pretty well. I have more thoughts on how it could be implemented and leveraged, but will hold off until the brain trust has some time to decide if it's worth going after.
