Then don't sell things. You don't have to.
Quick info for running a booth:
First get:
1. One table
2. One chair
3. A connected power cable
4. One machine with monitor
5. Get a banner or a poster
6. Get two people to staff the booth
7. Be around at least one hour befor it opens
8. Be prepared for stupid questions and a lot of talking
IP connectivity is optional, get more people and space if possible,
table cloths always look nicer than a naked table, running X and
something impressive is helpful, don't forget your power splitter

Two people should be considered minimum staff so one person can leave
the booth for a moment.
