You could print out some OSGeo flyer in A4 or poster:
https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/browser/marketing/flyer/osgeo/en

Ask Guido Stein to send you some FOSS4G 2017 material

You could use the OSGeo Logo and print some Poster or produce a Roll-Up 
or banner
https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/browser/marketing/logo

You last OSGeo Booth at FOSSGIS looked like this

You could print an OSGeo Live poster
