 * Basic info:**

__Other Details:__
 * Lunch will be catered and included in registration cost.
 * There will be one track for panels and a separate track for workshops.
 * Volunteers will be accepted from any chapters in the Western Region, and will have their registartion fees waived. They must be MEISA members and work two shifts to qualify for reimbursement. (Let's figure out how many people we need and cap this, we need income from admissions to cover costs, too.)
 * CPP and UOP will each take the lead on half of the panels (CPP currently has a greater amount, but the aim is to even this out) - //UOP is going to see if any of our alums in the SoCal area want to pitch in a bit.//


 * Some overall thoughts:**
 * Making sure our moderators are knowledgeable in the topic of the panel, but also that they don't take over discussion. We should make sure they understand that their role is to pull the knowledge from the panelists.
