Update Keynote Speakers
The committee agreed to move ahead with Tim Magner who gave a commitment to come, but cannot finalize his arrangements until the next fiscal year beginning in July. Norton asked the committee to consider paying for Tim Magner's travel and lodging, if that would guarantee this presence. The committee agreed. Kevin -suggested that we look for vendor sponsorship.Toni proposed an online Q/A chat if he cannot come the night before. Patrick Supanc - waiting from Pearson to confirm.

Discuss vendors
Get commitment from vendors - Rebecca suggested we shoot for library vendors e.g Follett - AudioBook. Toni has contacted eight vendors. Norton mentioned that Questeq will return, but they would like to have an opportunity for vendor-led presentation. Amy added that Thermo Fisher is also interested in vendor led presentation.Norton - spotlight presenter from Union City brought by Apple. Tim will send RWAN and other AIU vendors to web site. Kevin proposed a goal = contact vendors by july meeting. The group discussed the problem with more than 30 vendors, but felt that was a good problem.

Time-line for reviewing presentations
Kristin raised the problem of getting people from IU 1 to attend and pay total amount. She suggested that we have keynote speaker available over video-conferencing or satellite connection to TRETC. Norton replied that we have three MediaSite possibilities, including RPC Video, Panapto and IU. We'll definitely test out the concept of a virtual conference at no cost for this year and then charge participants a lower rate in future years. Kristin mentioned that Tandberg is interested in participating in this year's TRETC to prove themselves.
