Agenda Items

Review work in progress
1. CfPs – extension went out and responses are coming in
2. Keynote speaker will send abstract and bio
3. IU for webinar host
Review task checklist: https://samvera.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/samvera/pages/1753251843
1. Need to get a message out to IG/WG leaders with spreadsheet to sign up for 5 or 10 min updates
2. Eventbrite and Sched integration for ticketing and access: https://sched.com/guide/eventbrite-integration/
  - So far, no workshops that require waitlist feature/higher fee
    - Lower cost gives us 5 admins – who would like to be an admin?
  - Eventbrite free for free events
  - Integration automatically imports users and invites them to begin making their schedule (no double sign-up)
  - Can collect attendee info, require review and agreement to CoC
  - Reveals webinar link in Sched 10 min before start, only for logged in users
3. Community-building activities request for hosts should be sent last week in Sept
  Will have convo groups, ask for volunteer hosts, fewer sessions – Kevin and Heather will do a new to Samvera group, will ask for Women in tech group hosts, others if we get volunteer hosts
What does a scaled down connect look like? How do we adjust scheduling if we need to?
1. We can move the workshop day to monday, and make it 4 days of sessions
