• iLabs studio -  allotted 1 demo min, 2 demos max.  Ashley Diane Walter .

Possible Content Providers -

• PhET Interactive Simulations

Planning Deadlines

• Fri 1/15 - Content provider demo descriptions due
• Fri 1/22 (at latest) - marketing flyer and event registration (google form) ready for distribution

Other highlights

• KINBER has offered to host the event on their Bluejeans platform.  This will enable interactive videoconferencing bridging, live streaming, and a recording of the program for on demand viewing.
• The group agreed we should aim for at least 2 but up to 5 interactive sites per demo session.
