Pricing
Sponsors
Luis has had interest from several organizations for the Calgary event
Need to discuss further about process and if they want to extend to Edmonton
Offer a sponsorship package for both events - sponsor gets the same benefits at both events
Early bird price, regular price, last-minute price
Promo codes: students, special guests, corporate/team
Speaker/proposal recruitment
Invitation list:
Invitation List
Start reviewing and confirming speakers ahead of deadline, so we can start marketing speakers as a way to generate excitement and ticket sales
Next step: Linnea to create evaluation grid
Platform space constraints?
Multi-purpose room: up to 250 people
Auditorium: up to 400 people (but has an associated cost)
May need to rent chairs
Could we cap the Calgary event at 250 to avoid last minute logistical issues?
Next step: Ammneh will post in Slack some names of potential keynote speakers - others can add suggestions as well
Could reach out to Peter Merholz for Calgary event
Branding
Wordpress has a way of allowing us to keep existing websites… Luis and Robert may need to chat about this
Luis bring a graphic designer to help brand both events as a family of conferences
Ensure there is a tie to the existing UX Camp event and branding, while unifying with Calgary UX without entirely aligning it to the Calgary UX branding
Luis reached out to ? (formerly ACAD) about having a student placement who can help with graphic design, motion graphics, print elements, etc.
Luis will send website wireframe/mockup ideas
Luis can send photos of Platform so we can get a sense of the space
