I like it. What I currently miss on the page are soundbites, short pieces people will need. It is quite a bit of text, and it'd be good to see if there is stuff duplicated (seems not to be the case) or not really needed (there might be some). We need to ship this to people at booths, and as such it needs to be as short as possible - we can't force our booth dudes and dudettes to read 20 pages of text before they start doing their thing... Bullet points are good ;-)
