Developing a New Major

written after i went to ecarocon in syracuse (good event – that we want to take students to next semester)

- having a variety of speakers was a good idea – art guys, design guys, been out a long time, just leaving school

- need to have water/soda/snacks – there has to be some budget for it – people who weren’t from SU didn’tknow where swoda machiens were – and a lot of folks who were from SU didn’t know either because they’d never een in the building where the auditorium was. Even if ya charged a couple of bucks to come to cover the costs – need drinks and snakcs if the conference goes from 11 to 5, need option to buy lunch tix for the cafeteria, see if a sandwich shop will come in and sell sammiches during a break

- they had prizes for a give-away/drawing at the end -you got a ticket for each of the speakers you sat thru – that was nice, rewarded people who came to all of the talks, still let people who came nearer the end participate. Had lots of tshirts to give away so lots of people got something, then the speaker from sony brought copies of his game – that would be cool – and the tshirts serve as advertising for the program
