SNB at CTNX 2017 -- UPDATED 12.17.17

Stuart Ng Books was inside the big tent for  CTNX 2017. Here's the map for the convention grounds at the Marriott hotel...
And a view of the tent exterior, with the line of attendees just prior to opening. SNB was at the show all three days. I was only able to attend on Sunday this year, so not as many pics here on the blog.
Here are some views of the set-up for the SNB booth:


The booth during show hours...


 Some of the other booths inside the tent...
