first FIRST conference

[Jessica Boucher]

I personally think the CD webhug should be part of the official schedule, but hey, that's just me.

And could someone please tape them? We all know how FIRST is with distributing video, it's just easier if we setup a shift schedule now or if someone does them all.

They are charging admission.
Is taping them even allowed?

Reviewing the schedule... there are a few I'd REALLY love to hit up.
(I'm especially interested in the "surviving as a college FIRSTer" one... sounds intriguing ) Unfortunately... I have serious team obligations.

Video?
Powerpoints?
Anything!?!?

How much admission? I'd pay for someone to tape if they could promise quality footage (and if they were allowed to do so).

But all it is is meetups, roundtable discussions, and presentations, nothing more than we'd see at Kickoff...I personally don't see a problem.

If I can get there..(looking for funding for airfare/donated ticket) and it is allowed, I can find a camera and tripod and tape them and then digitize them. Or even better, Kenny Ardizzone will be hosting one. SOAP has the experiance to do this.

Admission is $5 adults, $2 students (college and high school)

Is the registration just for they can get approximate numbers? Can you attend a session you didn't register for?

Like many of us i suspect, I have no clue what my schedule will be a nationals. I would like to attend several of the sessions but cannot gurantee anything. I would probably attend all of them given the time but would like to attend a few of them depending on how much time I have. I don't know which sessions will fall into do able time slots and don't know which session I should register for. I'm confused.

I love this idea. While we are a 5th year team, many of our future team leadership will be attending a workshop or two.

Along with the other people who have already posted, I think these workshops will be a great resource for not only rookie but also veteran teams and if they were recorded, it would great.

The great thing is that they cover so many diverse topics that most anyone involved in some part of FIRST should be able to pick up new knowledge.

Guys, this is good input. I think that we can accommodate many of these requests. Keep up the comments, and we can tackle these issues in a few days.
