So, just out of curiosity, how is the planning committee being
selected this year?

We once tried having a committee selected from FAmSCo and FESCo. We've also tried just having regular meetings. TBH, no matter what we've tried, Tom and Josh and I were doing most of it, so we just keep doing it, and when anybody else want to help, they're always welcome to help. 

This year we're fortunate that a)we all speak the language of the country we're in, so that helps, and b)we have a lot of support on-site. Doing it in a hotel means we have the hotel's convention planner. We also have the Rochester CVB helping. And we've just hired Remy onto my team, who came from RIT, so he knows the area and situation well, and we've hired an events person to support things OSAS does. So we're actually far better supported than we ever have been before!

Which is not to say that if there's something anyone would like to help with that they shouldn't. Like this week I asked for help with the website. Paul's been working on it, but I'm sure he wouldn't mind handing it over to somebody with the time to invest! :-)
