A "kanban" board to help get session reports

I use "deadline for reports" notes in the schedule, at the newswall and 
at the desk where reports are deposited... and I announce the deadline 
in my intro and, in multiple day os events, in the morning news of the 
second day... in the 170+ events I have been involved in, this has 
always worked well.
I would never mess with the bulletin board, seems to me to be the holy 
property of the participants (at the end of the event we take it down 
and include it in the archives of the  event alongside other visualized 
material, the archives being handed over to the sponsor of the event).
Greetings from Berlin
