 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">How will we give a certificate of completion for those who don’t want credit? Perhaps a page in the booklet?

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;">__Call for Presenters:__
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">We had 72 presenters (but we have added about three since).
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">There will be a packet for presenters.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;">__Packets for Attendees:__
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">What will go in them? program booklet, SUU form, vendor ads, etc. UCET usually has 15-20 pages in their packets.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Who is gathering those papers?
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Deadline for vendors getting papers to us for packets is a couple days early. Scott is taking care of those.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">We will set up long tables in the commons area for several volunteers to collate Wednesday afternoon.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;">__Keynote Speakers__ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">:
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Confusion about dates will be cleared up by Kathy. Jamie thought he was supposed to be on Friday, so hadn’t planned to be here early enough on Thursday to do it in the morning.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Kathy is also gathering more information about their one-hour breakout session in the lecture hall an hour after their keynote.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Some have expressed concern about how little time we are giving the keynote speakers who have traveled so far, so we decided later to post the start times a little differently than before. On the SUECON website, each day says:

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> 7:00 am - Registration / Breakfast <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Auditorium <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> 8:15 am SHARP - Housekeeping <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> 8:30 am SHARP - Keynote
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">We need to have time for housekeeping both mornings because there are always changes.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Their speeches will be videotaped and posted on the SUECON website.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Tony R. will sit on front row with signs: ten more minutes, five more minutes, time is up.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;">__Housekeeping__ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">:
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Cody will announce in the auditorium that the meeting will start in five minutes, then dim the lights when it is time. We do not want to run late.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Cody will show very short videos.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Charlie will cover housekeeping using powerpoint slides. He thinks he will be only two minutes.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Charlie will introduce Larry Shumway. He will ask Larry ahead of time how much time he wants to take to introduce the keynote.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;">__Staging__ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">:
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">We saw Cody’s short videos for each day and practiced the lighting for the people on stage.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Tony R. is the stage manager, so he will be in charge of letting the keynote know how much time they have left. He can put the minutes on an iPad and hold it up to signal “ten minutes left” then “five minutes left.” Charlie said it might not hurt if they went a little over the time frame if people will rush to their next session.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;">__Tech issues__ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">:
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Wireless is throughout the building, but we are bringing in different vendors too. We could give them a guest password at the table, in their packet or program, or posted on the walls. Username: suecon. Password: suecon. All lower case.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">MAC lab does not already have Pages installed, so John Kelly has canceled that presentation. Photoshop is in that lab; it is an older version CS3.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Windows 7 is in only two labs: CTE 109 and CTE 110.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Every classroom has a projector, but all teachers in the school have laptops so there will be <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;">__no teacher PCs__ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> in the rooms. We will provide laptops from the Heritage COW, but we will tell all presenters they might want to consider bringing their own laptops. And if they bring a Mac, also bring a video adapter for it, since all are VGA. Presenters will be told that we do not have a way to advance their powerpoints, so if they have something they want to bring, they can.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Ian is taking care of all computers having a generic domain if not yet.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Jane has made up a list of the audio/visual requirements that were requested by the presenters in their applications for the techs to check to be sure we can meet their needs. Sometime before October 12th, a team of tech guys will go through the building after school to verify equipment, etc.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Dale will bring extra projectors from the media center to make sure we are covered in case of shortages or problems.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The portable SmartBoard will be brought in from Heritage because one presenter needs to be in a lab with a SmartBoard.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Charlie’s office has a huge case of cords and connectors so he thinks we can handle all of our electrical needs.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">UCET has had insurance to cover damage or loss, but there has been very little.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;">__Facilities__ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">: DHHS
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Cody will arrive each morning at 6:45 a.m. Breakfast begins at 7:30.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The counseling center will need a screen and projector. Lynn says she has one that can be used. The room is very bright with natural light, so we may want to close the blinds and turn off some of the lights.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Tablecloths were cheaper to buy than to rent, so we got about 16 black ones, some rounded and some rectangular. (Summer suggested that if we ever need some again, we might check with Unifirst in Hurricane. She rented something like 8-12 tablecloths for $22.)
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Lynn said their teachers will be told to lock up anything fragile, expensive, or tempting.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;">__Food__ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">:
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">With lunch being served from 10:50 to 1:10, Jane was concered about food sitting around. They figure there is a 2-3 hour window before any spoilage would begin that might cause illness.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Classes will contine to be in session throughout the lunch hour, and people will be asked not to take any food into the labs or classrooms. They may eat in the commons area or at tables outside.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">We will give food vendors a tentative count but ask them to be flexible and we will give them the final count by 8:30 each morning. We will judge the counter from the clickers we are using at the registration tables.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Staheli Catering was going to charge $475 a day to provide coffee, cups, creamer, sugar, etc. Charlie is getting that from Starbucks for free. We need a banner for Starbucks; who is in charge of that?
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Snacks will be grab and go. We do not want people to be slowed down in any of the food lines.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Tammy would like to store food and water ahead of time. There are regulations in rooms related to food, so Lynn will show Tammy exactly which closets or areas are acceptable for storage on Wednesday. We could possibly use DHMS next door if we had to. Food cannot be on the floor, so no palettes will be coming into the kitchen. There may be some closets where they are acceptable.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;">__Awarding Prizes__ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">:
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Rather than use the red double tickets, just have people put their name tag out of their badge and put it in a jar. (The lanyards have been donated by CDW so they will want the attendees to take them home.) For those who register onsite, Dale will have name tags that have the SUECON logo, so no one can put fake name tags into the drawings.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Anyone assisting with the conference, volunteers, and especially the lab aides who are being paid to be there, will <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;">__not__ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> be eligible to win any of the prizes.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Note that UCET does prizes both days to entice people to stay until the end of the day. They do fewer the first day than after the final session.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;">__Website__ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">:

There is an orange link on the sessions page: “Find out who is who - 2011 Presenter Biographies.”

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;">__Volunteers__ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">:
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">ROTC has about ten per day, DHHS student service clubs 7 per day, and only 9 lab aides have signed up.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Give your list of chores to Jeanette so she can get written sheets to help them be organized.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Some students will be assigned to food to keep it moving as quickly as possible.
