Tom:
Broaden reach to the professional industry sectors.
Not just student section, but an actual professional section.
Bill
Students interested in gaming. Getting representation from gaming would help with student interest.
Bobby
We can double down on industry contacts. Company Alrad (genesis) sound weapons, really loud speaker system. Have anechoic chamber and open to tours. Has a person would be interest
Bill
SD Media pros. Great group to get involved. 48 hour film fest.
Trevor
Used to have a section. Did events at Studio West, UCSD. Did a great job of keeping focus on event. We all are experiencing similar struggles with covid, technology changes, not taking SD seriously. A section would be great way to make that happen.
Bobby
Concern about losing momentum over time. How do we maintain interest
Trevor
We have experience in maintain event series. Leadership is key in keeping this.
Have a good couple few events always in the ready. Bring in new blood through students. Make it appealable to the students.

Events/meeting diversified
