SMART Training

Bob Freidler from Compview is providing half day SMART Training. I have coordinated the training and it is hosted in our conference room. We started with one day, and since our confernece room only holds 14 people tightly, we have had to offer four trainings. Bob provided lunch, but the training was free. I ran the registration system, name tags and all communications. Overall, I think it was a great success.

To Move or Not To Move

Registration reached capacity this year at 450 participants. The rooms were crowded and somewhat uncomfortable. I need to decide if I should move ITSC to a new location for 2008. After much research to find locations that have the bandwidth I have decided to stay at the Sheraton and add two workshops kitty corner at the Embassy Suites. This way we may be able to get up to 550 participants leaving us a boutique conference.

I will again review this in 2008 to see if any locations can handle our capacity and bandwidth. We will make a lot more changes in how we run the event next year, like having tickets for each workshop. Our notes for participant feedback in 2007 and our plans can be found on this google doc. Thanks to Kim for helping me think through this.

Montana Cadre Planning

We are hosting the spring cadre in a Bozeman, Montana at the Hilton Garden. As we have not yet hosted it here I am leary of the internet connection, but since most of the agenda is entirely online, if there are problems we will have to use an alternative strategy like splitting up amongst coffee shops and doing it remotely. My fingers are crossed, don't wanna have to figure that one out.

Communications with Grantees

I spent time connecting with both our Qwest Teacher Grant Awardee's and with the Regional Cadre Mini-Grant recipients. You can learn more about what the teachers grants were about here.
