1. Sponsorship / Budget

Currently there is approx. $1,600 in the account which includes $1,000 from CAE. With the expected $4,000 from registrations and $1,500 from the Alumni we think that we'll have enough money assuming that our expenses will be similar to last years ($18.5k). The shortfall will be covered from AROSS grant (up to $15k).

2. Registration-related Issues

• Currently we have 47 people registered. It's quite a big spike from 2 days ago when we had only 16. Possibly it is the effect of distributing 1100 flyers over the last two days.
• Decided to extend the Early Bird registration until Tuesday, Oct. 8 if possible. Registration Form is a potential problem - Action: Daman to inquire Marketing about this
• Evite: Hans finally got it working but learned that Marketing people don't want to send it out (seems that they always did it in the past)

    Actions:
     ** Evan to send Evite to Alumni (agreed to give 2 ticket to them)
