79. 3:46and a paid for there are between the
80. 3:49hours of 3: and 6:30 p.m. central Time

83. 4:00Member presentations maybe three or four
84. 4:02presentations lasting 45 to 90 minutes
85. 4:06and a reception to cap it all off a
86. 4:09social hour if you will of 75 minutes or
87. 4:12so the number of attendees that we
88. 4:15expect are anywhere from 25 to 40 this
89. 4:19is the second time we've thrown an event
90. 4:22like this but this is the inaugural
91. 4:24event of the community we're trying to
92. 4:27establish where we're going to have a
93. 4:29name and everything uh maybe come up
94. 4:33with some bylaws and stuff the sponsors
95. 4:36of the event who will be paying for the
96. 4:38budget are my firm
97. 4:40conty um campus evolve AI another firm
98. 4:45Florida State
99. 4:47University and
100. 4:51Microsoft when I say I need your
101. 4:54help I've told you about all the details
102. 4:56we have as of right now I've booked the
103. 4:58hotel I've booked some space we've got a
104. 5:01basic budget that's pretty healthy but
105. 5:05um we need activities ideas we need
106. 5:08signage ideas we really need to plan
107. 5:10this cocktail
108. 5:12party
109. 5:13um the activities that we need are the
110. 5:16kinds of things that you would imagine
111. 5:18if a group of people who don't know each
112. 5:19other who haven't necessarily ever met
113. 5:22each other before or from universities
114. 5:24all around the world mostly from America
115. 5:27but the second largest group is like
116. 5:29going to come from the United Kingdom
117. 5:32some will come from Australia for sure
118. 5:34some attendees are confirmed from New
119. 5:36Zealand some are confirmed from China
120. 5:39everyone who's coming does speak English
121. 5:41so there's no language barrier there to
122. 5:44worry about
123. 5:46but we need to get to know each other
124. 5:49all I've got so far in my mind is name
125. 5:51tags um signage we obviously will be a
126. 5:55part of a very large hotel with a lot of
127. 5:58stuff going on in it and so we want our
128. 6:03um event to sort of be obvious that it's
129. 6:06happening so you got to put signs up so
130. 6:08we're thinking there and we'd also like
131. 6:10to obviously recognize the sponsors who
132. 6:13put together the money to pay for the
133. 6:15different things that'll be served and
134. 6:17done there Microsoft campus evolve and
135. 6:21my firm
136. 6:23conty in a cocktail party you know does
137. 6:27there need to be any structure any flow
138. 6:29any program should there be gifts should
139. 6:33there be things handed out should one
140. 6:34stay away from that altogether looking
141. 6:37for your thoughts and ideas based on
142. 6:39your experience and your imagination
143. 6:41about what to do with these
144. 6:44things our goal of the event is for
145. 6:48these 25 to 45 people to meet and
146. 6:51establish enduring relationships over
147. 6:53the couple days that they are there and
148. 6:55the few hours that they're with us at
149. 6:57the beginning of the conference because
150. 6:59if I did didn't make it clear this event
151. 7:01that we're having will be happening
152. 7:03right at the beginning of a week-long
153. 7:05conference right so maybe if you make a
154. 7:08friend at the beginning you'll see them
155. 7:10many times that week uh in Texas while
156. 7:13you're there from wherever you came from
157. 7:14in the world we want to have the
158. 7:17opportunity in our program to share
159. 7:19strategies and Status the status of
160. 7:22innovative products projects they may be
161. 7:24working on things they want to share
162. 7:26that kind of stuff we want to have an
163. 7:28opportunity to discuss ways to sustain
164. 7:32our connection to each other and so that
165. 7:35doesn't necessarily bear on anything
166. 7:36other than the agenda but if you happen
167. 7:39to have any creative ideas on how to
168. 7:41stay in touch all I got is friendship
169. 7:44bracelets I'm a dad but if you think of
170. 7:47anything else that would go into the
171. 7:49event the party that would help discuss
172. 7:52ways to sustain collaboration and stay
173. 7:54in touch with people we meet that would
174. 7:56be really nice and welcome and then
175. 8:00obviously to launch this community
176. 8:02itself with The Branding and we're
177. 8:04settled on a name right now we'll get
178. 8:06you those details as we go but we're
179. 8:08trying to launch the AI to improve the
180. 8:11University student experience Alliance
181. 8:14that's what this is the AI to improve
182. 8:18the University student experience
183. 8:20Alliance is the mouthful of a name that
184. 8:23we have so far from International
185. 8:25discussion online about what it should
186. 8:26be named that's the winner so far
187. 8:31I want to tell you about the venue in
188. 8:33case you haven't been to Texas this may
189. 8:35be irrelevant because you already know
190. 8:36that this needs to happen inside the
191. 8:39hotel that we've chosen as far as I
192. 8:40think but to stimulate your creativity
193. 8:44realize that this whole event this week
194. 8:47the larger event educause and the
195. 8:49smaller event AI for to improve the
196. 8:52student experience uh Alliance um
197. 8:55kickoff are all going to happen in San
198. 8:58An anonio Texas on the San Antonio River
199. 9:02Walk which is a human-made canal that
200. 9:07runs uh quite a few blocks a long way um
201. 9:11between hotels bars restaurants a mall a
202. 9:16theater and everyone has outdoor seating
203. 9:19so you can imagine it you know um I
204. 9:21think easily enough but you can look it
205. 9:24up if you want and just so you know San
206. 9:28Antonio is the city in Texas where the
207. 9:30Alamo is that you're supposed to
208. 9:31remember for reasons that I've forgotten
209. 9:33about since history class some people
210. 9:36stood a Time against an army that was
211. 9:40against them that's all I know I don't
212. 9:41remember enough about the Alo but it's
213. 9:43that town and um so in case that Sparks
214. 9:47your uh your interest or any sort of
215. 9:49thematic thing I wanted you to know
216. 9:53that here um I want to show you some
217. 9:55pictures of the hotel and the room that
218. 9:58I physically booked
219. 9:59um I have some flexibility and they have
220. 10:02table shapes uh you know horseshoe round
221. 10:07if you have any particular ideas or
222. 10:09opinions you know that go that way
223. 10:11that's there um you're welcome to do it
224. 10:14but basically you see the size of room
225. 10:16we have a large lobby area and we have
226. 10:20an information desk that'll be all ours
227. 10:23to put collateral on or do nothing or
228. 10:26you know uh any sort of idea you have
229. 10:29these are the spaces that I've been
230. 10:31guaranteed by the place and also the
231. 10:33atrium where our cocktail party can be
232. 10:37of the hotel
233. 10:40itself um The Atrium where we'll be
234. 10:43served uh the headquarters of the drinks
235. 10:46are the corner of the atrium is actually
236. 10:49has a um commercial bar called the
237. 10:53tributary San Antonio um it's privately
238. 10:57reserved for us for that period of time
239. 11:01and um you can do your own research or
240. 11:04they can kind of do whatever we think
241. 11:07it's necessary when I say cocktail party
242. 11:09I I don't drink myself I don't
243. 11:11absolutely mean in any way that needs to
244. 11:13be alcoholic if you think that it needs
245. 11:15to be a particular way but also it can
246. 11:18be and our budget accommodates whatever
247. 11:21uh within reason you think might be the
248. 11:23right way to set this up so if you have
249. 11:25ideas in this regard knock yourself out
250. 11:28and I'll really appreciate it and if you
251. 11:30don't you know whatever Carri ass signs
252. 11:32is is what it would be great for you to
253. 11:34do so in
254. 11:36summation I need your help I'm looking
255. 11:39for ideas that help us have a successful
256. 11:43launch of this community of people who
257. 11:48want to be an alliance to use artificial
258. 11:51intelligence to improve the student
