- Finance
- Layout
- Dave has a theoretical first draft
- Are we allowed to block the rolldoors in the back?
- We dont have enough rooms held out of block for how much floor space we have this year - allocations were submitted before we were given the back of expo C this year
- if there is no new space for QJ in the halls because of cosplay propcheck, we could fit it in C, but sad to hide it away
- Initiative teams

- do we have the shipping money for the double-wide QL wall? or putting both halves in different spots 🤑

- if it isn’t a good fit, we can look at other internal options, or throw the money at robin to guarantee double wall
- Suite application - due 9/26

- Student/College opportunities:
- MICA cab / greg - also a MIVS dev, he could also bring the cab to show off the student work - will not need a room if his MIVS game is in -
- could offer the students a day-pass!
- if we suddenly have an extra room out of block late in the fall we could maybe get them badges + 1 room but don’t mention that to them yet!
- Pratt - Nick O’Brien
- has 5 games submitted to MIVS under Pratt Game Arts Studio
- we are still putting them through judging for the experience, but going to auto-accept the games and put them all in one Pratt booth together, 1 room out of block + 1 badge for each
- Bristol Community College - Lisa (connected to us via Sam) didn’t ever reach out - if we end up with extra room + badge + space, we could follow up in October
