Missouri GIS ConferenceTony Spicci

Conference ChairsTony Spicci, Mark Allen

Registration is open, brochure has been mailed. We’re in pretty bad shape, but can recover. Economic situation is dire. With the exception of a few people, there is no motivation to get things done. We need to be more aggressive; if we are still at 17 registrations on December 1 we will have to discuss pulling the plug. We are obligated for $26,000 at Tan-Tar-A. Today is the day we need to get everything done.

ArrangementsJamie Schieber

Jamie: 12 full conference registrations, 4 of those are presenters. 5 complimentary (exhibitor) registrations. 16 of 17 are coming to the welcome reception. Only 2 workshop registrations, which is below expectations. How do we reach the people who were at the regional workshops, etc.
