If there is anyone willing to help me with some logistics for TONMOCON III, I'd be grateful. Below is a list of some of the things that need to be tackled. If you're inclined to take any of these on, please PM me and let me know your interest. Thanks!
1) Proposing, and nailing down the agenda for the Saturday presentations -- this is important. The agenda is key, and needs to be "tight but loose", just like Led Zeppelin. Requires understanding presentation content, reaching out to presenters to make sure folks are aligned on presentation order, materials, logistics, etc. Also requires working with me to approve agenda.
2) Proposing, and nailing down the venue for the Friday night reception. We typically meet up at some place that serves simple bar food and drinks, is social, and is convenient to the key location. Requires researching venues, probably making a phone call or two to make sure the place is ready for our arrival (i.e., if there's going to be like 30 of us, it's best to give the restaurant / bar a heads-up).
3) MBARI coordination. For example, in 2005, some folks were able to visit Dr. Gilly's lab on the Sunday following the event, thanks to the support of Dr. Gilly. We also had some great speakers join us, so this should be coordinated along with #1.
4) "Other" activities. Saturday night plans, name tags, photo album, etc.
I think we'll live stream the event via ustream.tv. I'll probably be coordinating that as I'm already looking into that site in association with PoolVids.com.
Thanks again!
