To-do+list

Website: Janet will coordinate with Courtney Lannert

Keynote speaker: Working on it, hope to invite by weekend of June 19.

Program officers: Alex will reach out to Oscar Bernal (CSULA, former NSF rotator), Janet will reach out to DARPA, Jonas will reach out to Beverly Berger at NSF.

Flyers:

Publicity: Start this as soon as price is agreed on and flyer is made. Initial notice will be FYI while we sort out registration forms, fees.

Cost: Need to agree on price.

Money: Need to coordinate Anacapa transferring funds to Cal Poly. Alex needs to figure out how to set up an account at Cal Poly for receiving registration fees.

Registration: Should wait on this until we sort out how to handle registration fee and receive money. Alex has created an email account for attendees to send forms and abstracts to (anacapawestmeeting@gmail.com).

Abstracts: Request them with the registration forms. Deadline?

Sessions: Need to pick topics for non-research sessions soon. Grants will definitely be a theme, probably working with students as well. Need at least one more.

Research sessions: Will organize them thematically once we have abstracts, group people with similar approaches but not necessarily sub-fields. e.g. Anybody doing large scale simulations might be in one session. Anybody studying stochastic processes in different contexts (e.g. materials, biology, optics) might go in another. And so forth. Will do this after abstract deadline.
