As the various committees meet, I'm getting some feedback, ideas, and suggestions for MOTM 2020 - thought I'd start a thread so we have a place to find these ideas next year.
1. Expo or some dedicated time for affiliates to talk to members. The social events aren't the best time to strike up a conversation and the displays tables have been nice.
Note - we added the display tables in 2018 with an extended networking lunchtime. In 2019 the extended network time got cut due to overselling of sponsorships. The Affiliates would welcome an Expo but the members may not...There is a happy medium somewhere.
Note 2 - we are adding the sponsorship feature to Whova that may solve part of this issue or divert their attention from it...for a year.
2. Restructure the Sage Townhall - "the wrong people are there from Sage and not really providing us any content" Ideas are sending a list of questions to Sage in advance, cut the town hall completely, or change the town hall to something else. If we send out questions in advance, we could use Survey monkey to come up with a list of questions for Sage. The only way this segment has gravity again is dependent on Sage sending us decision makers instead of marketing and sales personnel.
