Panel/Speaker Update

[Kevin Peyton]

I have updated spreadsheets etc with panel/sponsorship data.

In a nutshell
- Spoke to WDC/AIB/Sligo County Entrprise Board
- WDC will sponsor Gold, Sligo CEB - following up next week, I think they probably will.
- Sligo CEB will provide panel speaker (CEO)
- AIB - to speak with their regional mgr on speaker/sponsorship
- Joanne from WDC has asked for a 1 pager about the event, those involved, and objectives. Denise - Can I send on the press release. Good point from Joanne was also to do a costing on the effort involved in organising this - people time, facilities, non cash sponsorship, etc - Anne-Louise, could you crunch this? She also suggested a few names as potential speakers, help with marketing in press - can discuss at next meeting. Also happy to come along for a chat with us over next few weeks. Have promised her I will be back to her by end of week with 1 pager.
- Talked briefly to Niall yesterday about industry panel. Heather - can you confirm is he speaker as well as Panel chair?

Thanks
Kevin

HI Kevin

Thanks for all of this and the update.

I will liaise with Denise on budgets as she has info on her laptop from the meeting we had last week.  Does Joanne want costings by the end of the week also?  Am tied up with meetings today and tomorrow in Sligo and Dublin but will try to liaise with Denise and Heather to get something done tonight.

Has a date for our next meeting been arranged yet?  I think we should get together for an hour maybe over lunch at some stage next week as I know people are busy.  It would be an opportunity for each person to report back on their progress.

Thanks

Anne Louise

Early next week is fine for a gross cost figure.

If there was not a date set at last meeting for next meetup - i think we should definitely meet next week.


Kevin

[Heather]

My teaching sched:

M 9-11

I'm afraid I will not be available next week at all - but if you let me know when you are meeting, I can provide an update progress report for my part.  Will get budget doc to you early next week Kevin.

Regards

Hello Guys,

I think we should go for either tuesday or wednesday of next week to meet up - say @midday tuesday?

I need to get back to a few people early next week in terms of sponsorship and panel - so the preference is to have clarity on this through a meeting.

Can you confirm whether you might be available on that day and if not suggest another ?

Thanks
Kevin

[Kevin Peyton]

It's always good to look at other peoples availability first :(

Change that to 2pm on the tuesday.

Kevin

[Heather James]

Sounds like a plan. Let's meet at the Clarion? It's insane trying to park at the IT. 

And I don't even have a car. But getting texts for people circling for 10 mins is not a good thing. 

2pm Tuesday: who's in? 1 hr MAX.

Tuesday at 2pm is good with me. Where are we meeting? Anyone on for meeting somewhere in Strandhill at some stage since some of us are based there?

Hi folks, I can't make next week as I shall be away. Apologies to all.Think my notes are on emails from our Sponsorship levels are here somewhere. I'll resend over weekend in any case.

Denise

[Kevin Peyton]

Friday evening messing...apologies..

it will have to be monday or wednesday @12 midday pm for me.

Kevin

[Heather James]

Strandhill is OK for me. Monday is best for me. (I teach during same time on Weds). Does it suit others?

The only bus I can get is the 1:05pm, which gets me in at 1:25pm. (the earlier one is during my classtime).

Is 1:30 OK?

I'd taxi, but I'm minding my cashflow at the moment!

- Heather

[Kevin Peyton]

Can we stay with the clarion for this one - and still meet @12pm - have to elsewhere at 2.30 on monday.

Kevin

[Heather James]

okey for me... eddie? ok for you?

else maybe i can get a lift w someone from town?

[Eddie Johnston]

Clarion is good with me too - Strandhill might prove be a bit awkward. See y'all monday!
Eddie

[Johnny Beirne]

Monday is the only day I am available next week.

[Denise Rushe]

Can I suggest that once we have sponsors and key panel speakers confirmed that we do a PR launch -some of the group/Lookwest,etc.


Denise

[Heather James]

Denise, PR launch seems neccessary. Time to get the IT president involved if she isn't already aware of the event. I expect she isn't.

 

I can't wait to tell you all about BarCamp Derry.

 

See you all at 12pm at The Clarion.
