Audio...lunch...set-up...after-party

[Jeff Samsonow]

Good day team,

attached to this e-mail you'll find our 2 quotes for audio.

The first (qbemail) is from KDL Audio, and it's for $717.
The second (ORD-07033.1) is from Sharps AV and it's for $787.

Not really much difference in the quotes, and both companies report they have cut their numbers to offer us these options.
So...while I think we're partial the cheaper option right now...
Let me know by a show of virtual hands which company to respond to, tonight.
Just e-mail and say "KDL"/"$717..." or "Sharps"/"$787."

As for lunch...Manfred (our organizer at the Shaw) is aware of our possible outcomes.

He also says we can't get into Salon 12 on Friday. We can have it as early as 6am on Saturday. So, whenever you want to show up on Saturday (7:30?) I'll make sure he has it open.

And...Stella is looking for a place we can all relax and have some food and drink once MediaCamp is done for the day. So far, she's scouring the downtown area around the Shaw, but she may look to the south-side of the river at something like Original Joe's Varisty.

Should we remain downtown?

Thanks for your patience (those of you still reading),

Jeff S.

Generally I go for cheaper, but in this case Sharps is on site always and knows the venue well so that’s my 2 cents. (and virtual vote)

I have someone who has a full audio set up (he used to be a DJ) worth about $15K that we can use for free. All we need to do is pick the set up and have to have someone who knows how to set it up. But it is free to use.

Hi everyone,

What time would you like me to show up on Saturday to help? And where is a good place to park for free if possible?

Thanks,

Tamara

[Bruce Winter]

Tamara

First go round on this but truly believe 7:30 AM is appropriate time to get registration organized.  Access from Greierson Hill there's parking adjacent and foot bridge across GH...

Debra:
Karen asked me to source left over (ChangeCamp) registration materials. Are you good to go Sat. If not let me know where I can pick them up. Making large assumption you have them.
Bruce

[djgirl/DebraWard]

I am good to go for Sat and all the materials are in a wheeled tool-
box that I maintain for facilitating events. Tons of pens, sharpies,
tape (all types), whiteboard markers and name tag stickies. Thanks
Bruce!

Thank you, one less thing to do (:>)

At this point, saving $787 on audio doesn't get us any closer to lunch
for 120, so I say let's pay for worry-free sound and hope we can still
find a lunch sponsor or just cancel lunch.

Good call Karen - I agree pay for the sound or what could go wrong, may!

I'm still trying for sponsorship; I forfeited my minute to speak about
Pondside at BNI so I could rally for MediaCamp sponsorship but
haven't heard anything yet :-/

Worry free audio is a very good thing.

[Jeff Samsonow]

Alrighty...

I will e-mail the Shaw and get them to crack open Salon 12 for us at 7:30am.

I'll make sure Sharps AV knows the time so they can get set up.
Which also means I'll be telling them we're going with them for audio.

I haven't heard anything about new sponsorship today, so I guess I'm going to let the Shaw know we're out for lunch.

So...let's compile the best list we can of lunch options around the event area, on a Saturday.

[Jason Darrah]

What’s the $ left for lunch sponsorship?

[Unland, Karen (Edm Journal)]

If we can hold on until Wednesday morning to tell the Shaw, I have  a glimmer of hope for one of my leads to pay off. Just a glimmer, mind you.

 

Also, Patrick Johner of the ATA's public school teachers local says the local is willing to put $250 in. By my count, that gives us just over $450 that is unspent, after sound is paid for. Should we consider buying $450 worth of food, and warning people it won't be enough? Can we scrape a little more together to buy a little more?

[Jeff Samsonow]

I'll make the edmontonian kick-in $250.

So we've got $700...which could be used to beef up one of our snacks, or order lunch for about 40 people...

I will let the Shaw know we've got one more shot, and we will be ordering something. :)

[Jason Darrah]

Let’s recap our budget to date.

Correct me if incorrect.

 

Costs:

a)       venue – nets out through sponsorship from EEDC and GURU

b)      Food - we have about 155 registered x $20 if we pay for lunch = $3,100 (if we closed reg today)

c)       Audio - $787

Total costs ~ $3,890

 

Sponsorship

a) ShareEdmonton, TEKRI at Athabasca University, CTV, Grovenor School, TheEdmontonian each x $250 = $1,250

 

Deficit = $2,640

Thanks Bruce for the info and I will plan to be there for 7:30 a.m. I don't think I can make it to any of the before or after social events because I have to take care of my kids.

Good luck in finding sponsors to cover the remainder of the budget.

Let me know if there is anything else I can do. I'm home tonight with the kids.

See you bright and early Saturday,

Tamara

[Unland, Karen (Edm Journal)]

Thanks a million, Tamara. Your help is much appreciated.

 

Karen

[Debra L Ward]

As of noon today we have 170 people registered. I was promoting MediaCamp at the YESS ‘Great Expectations’ breakfast this morning and notice a few of those people have registered. The problem is not getting people excited and willing to register the problem is getting them to pony up for some sponsorship…

[britl...@gmail.com]

I shall also try to be there by close to 7:30.

Mornings are not my friend.
