+== '''Science Fair!''' ==
+Do you need help with an awesome project you're working on? Do you have a phenomenal demo you want to show off to your fellow Mozillians? Are you working on experiment or idea that needs feedback or testers?
+At the Drumbeat Festival you'll have your chance to show off what you've got and talk with your fellow Mozillians about it face-to-face!
+We're creating space at our opening reception for our first ever "Mozilla Summit Science Fair", where participants will set up their laptops and demos in a single large area of the venue that will have an array of tables, chairs, power-outlets...and cocktails! Everyone else will wander around the exhibits, stopping to chat, watch demos, ask questions, and generally just dive in, talk about stuff, and vote on their favorites.
+The Science Fair is your chance for you to present something -- research, prototypes, demos, crazy ideas, experiments, trials, tests, investigations, studies, or whatever else -- in a casual setting to some of the smartest and best people working on building and supporting open education on the web today.
+'''Space is limited!'''
+But space is limited! While we'd love to have every Summit attendee participate in the Science Fair, we only have so much time and space. There are a limited number of slots available, which will be assigned on a first-come-first-served basis.
+'''Sign up!'''
+The Science Fair is scheduled on Wednesday, November 3 from 9pm – 11pm, following our opening keynote.  If you want to participate, please head over to the Summit Science Fair Sign-up Sheet and fill in the form as soon as you can. Science Fair slots will be assigned on a first-come-first-served basis, with sign-ups ending on October 25.
