Hi all

With workshops due to be announced on the 8th of September, I would like to
confirm to workshop presenters and conference committee members that they
are eligible for a community contributor ticket.

As we are all aware at this point, organising the conference takes a lot of
effort from a lot of people. I think that recognising that effort by
offering community contributor tickets is appropriate. Preparing and
presenting a half-day workshop and associated materials also requires
significant effort that should be recognised.

We have currently allocated 20 community contributor tickets and we have
sold 2. By specifically reaching out to workshop presenters and committee
members with this option, we may need to allocate up to 35, although there
is overlap with sponsors who already have free tickets, workshop presenters
who are also committee members, etc.

If your employer would happily pay for your attendance at the full
registration price point, then that option is obviously still available and
appreciated.

Due to a very successful sponsorship drive, we look likely to achieve a
healthy surplus, and this proposal has a maximum impact of around $4500.

Thoughts?

Ngā mihi
Daniel

These community contributors should be formally defined as so.

Hi all

I've had a look at four venues for the Icebreaker - Foxtail, Flamingo Joe's,
Husk and The Library. I think that Foxtail is the best combination of
pricing / convenience / responsiveness.

Foxtail is only open to the public on Friday nights, the rest of the time
it's a function venue attached to a much larger venue called Foxglove. Half
way down this page [1] there are a couple of pictures.

Capacity is 100 people inside - it has 2 balconies that probably add another
50, although we can't guarantee sunshine. It is right on the waterfront so
the balconies have nice views out to the harbour. It is an 8 minute walk
from the workshop venue.

I figure we select canapes from the function menu [2] that look something
like this, retaining a decent selection for those with common dietary
requirements:

Canapes:
- Market fish ceviche, Pico de Gallo, wasabi crème, orange (gf)
- Cajun spiced crispy squid, lime mayo (df)
- Seared eye fillet, mustard crème, house pickled mustard, sourdough
crostini
- Moroccan spiced lamb skewer, raita (gf)
- Kumara rosti, homemade aioli, sour cherry (gf, v)
- Heirloom tomato, buffalo mozzarella, Aceto, basil, sourdough crostini (v)
- Camembert bite, tomato relish (v)
- Beetroot macaron, vanilla creme (gf, v)

If we order 16 pieces per person at $36pp for 40 people (640 canapes total),
we can get more options and better value for money, but that amount of
canapes will suit for up to 100 people. It's still more than 6 canapes per
person for 100, around 8.5 per person for our estimate of 75 attendees for
this event.

This would leave enough budget for 2 drinks per person (provided as tokens),
as long as we select drinks $12.50 and under (which is still a good range
[3] of beers, wines, soft drinks).

There is a minimum spend and a small hire fee, these commercial details are
in the budget [4] given that this message is on a public mailing list.

Finally, one of the entrances to this venue is through a wardrobe
(Narnia-esque), just for something a little different.

Ngā mihi
