Committee hears planning conference update; no registration cap set
Summary
Staff told the committee a planning conference is set for February, with registration opening the week after next; committee discussed capacity and out-of-county fees and was told no registration cap has been set.
Unidentified Speaker 3 updated the committee that the planning conference is on track for February: registration forms will be released the week after next, sponsorships are being finalized and sessions are set.
When Unidentified Speaker 1 asked whether the committee should cap registrations or prioritize Saratoga County residents, Speaker 3 said no cap had been set and that out-of-county registrants pay a higher fee. Speaker 3 said registration notices are sent to the committee’s email list and posted online at the same time, and noted competition from other conferences and online training options may affect attendance.
Speaker 3 also noted that Kim prepares materials for municipalities and that 'a couple public hearings coming up for the IDA' are posted on the IDA website. Committee conversation included logistical concerns about room capacity and vendor layouts, and a comment that a target of about 75 attendees in some rooms might be ideal.
The committee did not set a registration cap at the meeting; staff said they will continue to finalize logistics and communications.
