EA/HTBA Conference Directors

[Bo Pulito]

Team -

Kate and I spoke with the EA board today and they said last year they had 20 people work in some capacity on the conference including 12 directors.

I am not sure how the Director allocation is designated, but I'd like to propose an additional group of 3-5 directors from the HTBA to be specifically assigned to the conference....and I think we have great candidates to choose from. 

Let me know your thoughts,

-Bo

I don't see the harm.  There are a lot of people interested in HTBA so why not have some more directors? 

I would ask about the scope of our participation with EA.... EA needs 12 because they put the whole thing on... last I remember we were thinking about one panel?  Or Bo are you proposing with more directors we could then increase the scope of our participation?

There are four core areas:

1. Sourcing: Panelists and Keynotes
   
2. Ticket Sales/Marketing
3. Ops and Catering
4. Sponsorships and Funding (Easton/Price included)

We are going to try to be as influential in all four as possible.  We want this to be an HTBA event, not a "supporting role,"  a co-contributor.  The EA is on board with this and really sees the synergy.  That said, the plan is looking to push 1/3 responsibility to us.  EA had 20 people working on it last year.....we need some more people :)
