Paul gave a demo of Backstage-a conference planning platform in ZoHo. He has set up conference agenda and information using this tool and we will be able to share it with members and industry to assist with planning, communication and logistics.
Ideas for the graphic included using a vehicle in motion, Matrix, digital-looking, use CIECA color; ensure graphic looks good on all marketing materials: letterhead, gifts, electronic communication, banners, etc.
A Save the Date announcement will go out to announce the conference date.
Look for speakers who can present about topics that are forward-looking; what will industry look like in 3-5 years.
