First, I would hold a seminar to prepare and teach people how to resist Reaper indoctrination. Convention attendees can spread what they learn to the general population.

Display footage of the extranet political talk shows. I am sure all the "talking heads" will be bloviating ad nausiem about Shephard's exploits after "Arrival."

Ticket stubs from the Elcor production of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers would be pretty sweet to hand out.

A mock up of Joker's pilot seat would make an incredible photo op.

For us people in the good ol' Europe is well...hard to get to the conventions. As such I bet most of us would appreciate some video, stream of the devs talking about ME3, showing some content, maybe the art direction, some of the OST, I dunno there are so many things. I think any new info would satisfy all of us. 

Of course please *spoiler free*. ME2 had so much spoilers I think I knew half of the game before I got it.

Something on facebook would be also nice like a competition or some prizes.

[Rykn]

I won't be able to make anything this year (No money Q_Q) so a video broadcast would do wonders for me. Especially if you do some sort of contest or prize thing. (Demo footage if the devs are able of course.)

1. Swag is always welcome. Cards, N7 branded items. Good decor/booth.

2. Videos, twitter, an online contest. For 360 users, a channel section with videos, interviews.

I WANT TO SEE MORE JACK

[haplessweasel]

Photo ops can be fun - like a citadel balcony backdrop!

[Esbatty]

To be honest, I'd dig a Bioware Convention. Its been around long enough, and has enough IPs under it to support a fairly large group of fans and media coverage.

[HighMoon]

Well, if there are any new squadmates other than James Vega, now would be the time to reveal them (unless it involves major spoilers for whatever reason).

It would also be nice if you could confirm if a few of the more minor (but still popular) NPC's will be appearing, such as Emily Wong, Conrad Verner, Kal'Reggar, Shiala or Gianna Parasini.

And maybe even a sneak peek of some of the squadmates we haven't seen yet (I'm particularly interested in the ones whose appearances have changed the most, like Jack. But really, any of them will do.)

Chris: I don't know about how you handle it at tradeshows, but I will say that the thing I always enjoyed most about Bioware's booth at GDC was your "northern bounty"... the refreshments (water, drinks) were an absolutely wonderful addition.

Aside from that, I would say a adding a couple of stools so people can sit and talk. Also, swag. People love swag, especially t-shirts.

Since i can never go to these things - Live question answering would be nice. Even if most answers cant be given. ''Will X be in ME3?'' - ''We can/cannot confirm X will be in ME3''. Answers to questions LIVE via twitter or facebook or whatever medium BW uses.

You guys wrote the book on fan pleasin'.
Bioware strikes me as a classy company, they've built up enough good will that their product goes a long way towards selling itself.

That said, some bangin' gorgeous girls done up as Asari in shiny futuristic clothing would be really neat. It can be tasteful, but I think it'd be swell, as a human company, to have Asari on hand to assist interested parties. Just seems very much in the spirit of the universe.

Agreed!  Asari PR would be a good roleplay addition.  If I were there and saw a couple of Asari liaisons it would definitely make me think "Ahh, the ME universe, I'm there :)"

1. 

Meeting Devs,  and having them passionately tell me about their game,  and why it's cool.  No "Awesome button" stuff,  I don't need Marketing PR.  Tell me what makes your game different from the guy in the next booth who's going to be using the same buzzwords you might (Immersive,  Evolutionary,  Revolutionary).  I stop listening right there,  because I know you're just trying to PR me into believing.  Let me talk to Casey Hudson,  'cause I'm pretty sure that guy is going to passionately tell me about something,  and I'll listen to him.  People who are passionate about a game,  put 110% into it,  and they make great games.  People who hand me marketing buzzwords are just trying to sell Yet Another Shooter,  trying to ride a bandwagon.

Super-cool swag doesn't hurt either.  Not because I'm easily entertained,  but because it tells me alot about the team and the company.  If you're giving away something cool,  it tells me...

-You believe in the game enough to spend some money promoting it because you're certain it's going to sell.  Which returns us to the part about passion.

-Your team is creative enough to come up with something cool.  Which means they were creative enough to come up with a cool game.

2.

You want to really impress me?  Setup a webcam with a chat feed,  and rotate Devs through to answer questions and talk about the game.  With average joes.  Give us the same treatment you would if we came to your booth.  I can get enough PR videos from other games.  Go back to your roots,  I remember when Black Isle and Bioware would discuss all kinds of things on message boards,  that's what made those studios great,  that we could discuss things.  Do it again,  Leave the carefully contrivied videos to the other studios,  show me you're different,  show me you're passionate,  and talk with me about your game! 

The giveaway isn't a bad idea either.  A "Bag-O-Swag" for people who may never go would be a huge idea.  Kind of like what Computer Gaming World used to do,  they'd give out a few packages of swag they'd picked up on the floor.

You could do a Bioware centric version.  Whatever you're handing out,  maybe a thumb-drive with your promotional material.  Maybe a signed print/sketch or two from the artists.  Signed photo of the team.  Maybe even a poster you used after the show.  Honestly,  you could probably do the whole thing dirt cheap and I think you'd be amazed at the response.

Oh,  and a picture of Tali.  We love Tali!

In closing,  I reiterate,  Show your passion!.  Everyone's going to be out there with videos,  demos,  Marketing guys dropping as many buzzwords per sentence as they can possibly fit.  Want to stand out?  Have the Team tell me about your game,  why it's great,  and talk with me about it.

My 2 cents is just inviting the real actors and specialy putting casey hudsen into the shepard costume. God just invite martin sheen,seth green, Keith David. I bet this don't have to cost money to get them, if you ask them nicely because the worked also on the ME3 series, and its fun to see that the fans can see this actors and even on live stream. What you are aiming for is someting people never forgot and by doing this you are giving yourself a great evening with intresting people and for people around the world following this on live stream.

I would also say use some humor in everything. suddenly 2 reapers getting on stage and seeing 2 krogen coming out the middle of no where can have a nice tough also.

Even more funny put christina norman into a tali costume and say to everybody this is how a quarion looks like  

Tease your customers and make a lot of jokes and humor. I believe a lot of fans are not expecting someting big just a good time and fun. and that is in the little things.

My words for you. honestly. humor. gratefullnes.

[Tessir Kaerak]

some free Garrus eye scanner thing for attendees!

Doesn't have to high quality or anything but how cool would it be to see a bunch of people rocking those??

[AdamNW]

When I go to PAX this year, the LAST thing I want to see are returning squad mates, or any major spoiler of any kind.

[Kidd]

I'd die from fangirl squealing if I got to talk to some devs and/or voice actors. Of course, I'm not going to be able to attend pretty much anything up here in the cold north, so I'm just putting that out there for the benefit of others =)

[starmine76]

I absolutely LOVED getting to meet the SWOR team ad Fred's Mexican Cafe at last years comic-con, so It would be sweet if we could do something similar with the ME3 team.

And not even to neccesarily get cool morsels of info about the the game- although that's cool, I really just want to meet the crew behind an experience I've been immersed in for the past 4 years.

Anywhere in Gaslamp, bioware, you name it I'm there.

I loved the (PAX, was it?) Q&As with the dev team for DA2. Something like that would be great.

[Ieldra]

More team member reveals.

Really, all that gameplay info sounds so awesome, I'd be hyped up to the sky if it wasn't that lack of info about Miranda casts a shadow on it all and makes it appear lacklustre.

And I don't mind being spoiled in this special case.

Edit
I also support twittering during the con. Anything, in fact, that would help those who can't be there in person (of which I'm most likely to be one) getting a good impression of what's going on.
