I agree, that having good arguments is necessary here. I bet the FSFE has 
already some material in that direction.
This event most likely will involve much more basic introductions to free 
software in general, so people coming should be prepared for that.
Anyone who was at a booth at less linux centric events like CeBit knows how 
exhausting this can be I bet ;)
On the other hand the practical demonstration will be fun anyways.

Since this is very different from the usual Linux events, the KDE e.V. will 
most likely cover the cost for the booth.

In addition to the cost for the booth, this shouldn't matter much if more 
people want to do booth work.
I assume those passes can be passed on to others each day?

active distribution - so you cannot bug people to take them, but having them 
for people requesting them or take away is fine as far as I understand.
Actually this sounds like one of these events where hand outs or a poster with 
very basic information about what KDE is would be in order.


Cheers
