Hello everyone,

The entertainment sub-committee explored many options and reached the following decision:

The 1919 committee will co-sponsor the CCPA Boots Riley event on Saturday evening. Registrants will have time to attend both the Riley event and the Labour Temple social.

For Friday night, the conference schedule will provide a list of local events, venues, and restaurants people can go to on their own. We decided this based on the lack of time to organize something worthwhile and with the conference schedule already packed as it is we decided to give people the chance to do whatever it is they want to do.

Unless a majority of the committee objects before Friday 4:00 PM, we will proceed with contacting the CCPA so that our conference logo can be included on the ads for the event that are going out on Monday.

We will also ask the CCPA to set aside a number of reduced-price tickets for conference attendees, and contact registrants to act quickly to get a ticket.

As a SPONSOR, David. Not as a co-presenter. The event would be a joint presentation by the CCPA and us.

Thanks Krishna.

So the total cost is just less than $25K Canadian

What other funding do they have?

UM Arts Labour Studies is putting in 5K. If we were to put in $11K, the Labour Studies/1919 total contribution would be $16K, or almost two-thirds of the cost. It starts to look like primarily our event.

Sorry for the delay by way of reply.

Boots fee is $17.5K (US) plus a $1.5K travel buyout.

In exchange for $9K-$11K (CDN) -- likely leaning towards the $11K side of things -- we receive:

1. Co-presenter/co-billing status 2. Reduced ticket price of $20 for up to 200 conference goers 3. 10 free $100 meet and greets with Boots at post-event wine and cheese for WGSCC Committee members/organizers/etc. 4. Full advertising in all materials, 5. Brief speaking time at the start of the event

That's what I have for now. I am hoping we can agree in principle on this by tomorrow and then I can flesh the details and produce the contract over the weekend.

Hi All,

I am extremely excited by the possibility of having the Boots Riley event linked to our conference! I’m very much looking forward to his talk - I’ve had tickets in hand since they first went on sale. I think he’s a great fit for 1919 celebrations.

With that being said, I want to state upfront that I’m extremely uncomfortable being pushed to contribute to a decision-making process over email involving so much money and a change of date that presently falls outside our conference, fundamentally shifting conference plans that have been in the works for years. I recognize circumstances changed (disappointingly) with our Friday plans.

This idea frankly should have come to us not as a ‘decision’ made by the subcommittee but as a recommendation, since it represents so fundamentally a shift in what the subcommittee - in my understanding - had been empowered to do. It should have been put forward as such ( a recommendation) with our being asked to vote or - better yet - come to consensus. This is difficult to do in an email forum which is a terrible place to facilitate conversation.

I feel like the ship has sailed though.

I think if we are giving money to support this event then Boots Riley’s talk should be included in our program as part of our conference and, in all of CCPA’s advertising, they should also be explicit in indicating that it is a part of our conference. If we are putting in money that was raised to support the conference (ie, this is what we told our funders it was going to - the conference) then I think anything less would be inappropriate.

That’s my two cents (or maybe $5000).

From: 1919-conference-bounces@lists.umanitoba.ca on behalf of Jim Naylor Naylor@BrandonU.CA Reply-To: 1919 conference organizing committee 1919-conference@lists.umanitoba.ca Date: Thursday, March 7, 2019 at 5:15 PM To: 1919 conference organizing committee 1919-conference@lists.umanitoba.ca Subject: Re: [1919-Conference] entertainment planning committee decision for Friday event

In reply to Sharon, I’m assuming that we will be returning the $5,000 that was specifically for Bragg.

In my own opinion, I’m happy to sponsor this and to make a healthy contribution. I don’t see any reason to be a co-presenter. In terms of benefits to us, our sponsorship would be acknowledged in any case. The difference between a $20 and $30 ticket is not substantive for almost all of our attendees and if anyone from the committee wants to attend the meet and greet, they can pay the $100 themselves. It being after the conference, I don’t think there is any need for a brief speech, etc.

My suggestion is that we simply sponsor the event to the tune of $5,000.

Hi all,

Since I missed the last meeting and am relying on the minutes, I’m not clear on what the subcommittee was empowered to do. But I think I agree with Rhonda’s points about process.

I also have no sense of the financial situation we’re in other than that we have to return $5000 to the MFL.

If we have the money, I’d be fine with becoming a sponsor of the Riley event for up to $5000. But I’m not in favour of more than that. More important, I don’t think decisions about major changes and very large expenditures should be made except at a meeting or by a specifically empowered subcommittee, so there’s confidence in the process whatever the decision is in the end.

Cheers, David

I think if we are giving money to support this event then Boots Riley’s talk should be included in our program as part of our conference and, in all of CCPA’s advertising, they should also be explicit in indicating that it is a part of our conference. If we are putting in money that was raised to support the conference (ie, this is what we told our funders it was going to - the conference) then I think anything less would be inappropriate.

That’s my two cents (or maybe $5000).

In reply to Sharon, I’m assuming that we will be returning the $5,000 that was specifically for Bragg.

In my own opinion, I’m happy to sponsor this and to make a healthy contribution. I don’t see any reason to be a co-presenter. In terms of benefits to us, our sponsorship would be acknowledged in any case. The difference between a $20 and $30 ticket is not substantive for almost all of our attendees and if anyone from the committee wants to attend the meet and greet, they can pay the $100 themselves. It being after the conference, I don’t think there is any need for a brief speech, etc.

My suggestion is that we simply sponsor the event to the tune of $5,000.

Boots fee is $17.5K (US) plus a $1.5K travel buyout.

In exchange for $9K-$11K (CDN) -- likely leaning towards the $11K side of things -- we receive:

1. Co-presenter/co-billing status 2.

Hello everyone,

The entertainment sub-committee explored many options and reached the following decision:

The 1919 committee will co-sponsor the CCPA Boots Riley event on Saturday evening. Registrants will have time to attend both the Riley event and the Labour Temple social.

For Friday night, the conference schedule will provide a list of local events, venues, and restaurants people can go to on their own. We decided this based on the lack of time to organize something worthwhile and with the conference schedule already packed as it is we decided to give people the chance to do whatever it is they want to do.

Unless a majority of the committee objects before Friday 4:00 PM, we will proceed with contacting the CCPA so that our conference logo can be included on the ads for the event that are going out on Monday.

We will also ask the CCPA to set aside a number of reduced-price tickets for conference attendees, and contact registrants to act quickly to get a ticket.

Agreed! The full committee can vote by email as readily as in person. Delaying until the next in-person meeting is impractical because it’s too late -- Boots Riley advertising is going out on Monday.

Re some other expressed concerns: This event is not “after the conference”; it’s literally mere hours after the strike tour. This event helps address some of the critiques re the conference’s lack of diversity that I’m already receiving. And this event requires much less money and work from us than the Bragg concert.

Hi All: I understand the concern of the committee members who are alarmed by tis rather significant change in the program at this late date, and I appreciate the desire to have a custom-planned event on the Friday evening. Our decision to table this proposal to the whole committee was based on our realization that we have, effectively, run out of time to organize a great event for that evening. We did, I observe, also suggest that we compile a list of places and events for the delegates to do “on their own.” This idea seemed to solve several problems, by providing a big-name speaker to highlight our conference, by increasing the visibility of diversity in the program, and by offering delegates a great event as part of the conference. It’s a plus that it will be less costly for the committee, not just in money but also time, because CCPA will take care of the organizing. Although I supported the decision to forward this proposal to the committee, I completely understand if other members of the committee prefer to come up with an alternative plan. Unfortunately, Jason wasn’t able to join us in our planning sessions, but if you can get some help from the expert here, that might expand the available options. I think it’s worth remembering that we are about 8 weeks from the conference, so if we were to decide to ask CCPA to set aside tickets for our delegates, we might be wise to make a decision fairly soon. Given that as well as the difficulty of getting good attendance at an actual meeting on short notice, I would opt for a vote by email. We seem to be able to manage a pretty robust discussion on this medium, so perhaps we could trust this process to vote as well. Best, julie

Boots fee is $17.5K (US) plus a $1.5K travel buyout.

In exchange for $9K-$11K (CDN) -- likely leaning towards the $11K side of things -- we receive:

1. Co-presenter/co-billing status 2.

That's what I have for now. I am hoping we can agree in principle on this by tomorrow and then I can flesh the details and produce the contract over the weekend.

Jim, I think it's imprudent to fashion any kind of tab about Boots Riley until a decision is reached about what level of sponsorship we've agreed upon, yes? Aren't we still in the process of determining said?

As for tickets, CCPA is willing to offer a discount (which I think I can negotiate to $15 -- half the ticket price) for 200 conference goers. We can set up a special account for conference attendees on the eventbrite page. Do NOT for a second think that the ticket discount will affect anything. I can fix that -- even for people who have already registered.

I *do* take your points (Jim, Rhonda, David, Jeff), but as I said from when CCPA first approached me about this idea in December, my feelings about co-presenting this event have always been rooted in attaching a rather large, significant name to our efforts -- one, which serves to diversify our programming and create excitement and buzz around this historic conference.

Boots' name (as a concluding piece to our 4-day centenary celebrations) could serve very well to increase participation and excitement amongst prospective attendees. Boots only two weeks ago was awarded Best Feature Film Debut at the Independent Spirit Awards, which has further generated worldwide interest in both his film and voice as a labour activist.

I understand that concerns about process over email are rising amongst a few of you, but honestly, it's no horror show to make decisions over email? We've made decisions for this conference in-person with less people who've weighed-in on this matter. Ideally, arriving at this decision face-to-face is wonderful, but pushing this two weeks from now will cause us to miss a great advertising potential. What's more, seats are selling, and as of this writing, we can guarantee 200 discounted seats for our attendees. Not sure if those seats will be available when next we meet.

Okay. My thoughts, here. I really only see benefits from a co-presenter's position. Attaching Boots to our efforts will reward us so much re: PR and will diffuse concerns about our conference's lack of diversity re: organizers, programming and presenters.

I’m not too concerned about putting aside tickets for the Boots Riley event. If we advertise it on our website (as we have already decided), people will know about it and, presumably if they’re keen on going, not wait until tickets might be sold out. Also, we cannot really offer discounted tickets (which I pointed out is not much of a discount) since so may people coming to our conference (particularly local people) will have already got their tickets.

Krishna: can you add a tab to our page (towards the right), labeled “Boots Riley Event.” The text should announce the CCPA has organized an event that will be of interest to Conference attendees, and include a link to the Eventbright site?

Hi All: I understand the concern of the committee members who are alarmed by tis rather significant change in the program at this late date, and I appreciate the desire to have a custom-planned event on the Friday evening. Our decision to table this proposal to the whole committee was based on our realization that we have, effectively, run out of time to organize a great event for that evening. We did, I observe, also suggest that we compile a list of places and events for the delegates to do “on their own.” This idea seemed to solve several problems, by providing a big-name speaker to highlight our conference, by increasing the visibility of diversity in the program, and by offering delegates a great event as part of the conference. It’s a plus that it will be less costly for the committee, not just in money but also time, because CCPA will take care of the organizing. Although I supported the decision to forward this proposal to the committee, I completely understand if other members of the committee prefer to come up with an alternative plan. Unfortunately, Jason wasn’t able to join us in our planning sessions, but if you can get some help from the expert here, that might expand the available options. I think it’s worth remembering that we are about 8 weeks from the conference, so if we were to decide to ask CCPA to set aside tickets for our delegates, we might be wise to make a decision fairly soon. Given that as well as the difficulty of getting good attendance at an actual meeting on short notice, I would opt for a vote by email. We seem to be able to manage a pretty robust discussion on this medium, so perhaps we could trust this process to vote as well. Best, julie

Hi All,

I am extremely excited by the possibility of having the Boots Riley event linked to our conference! I’m very much looking forward to his talk - I’ve had tickets in hand since they first went on sale. I think he’s a great fit for 1919 celebrations.

With that being said, I want to state upfront that I’m extremely uncomfortable being pushed to contribute to a decision-making process over email involving so much money and a change of date that presently falls outside our conference, fundamentally shifting conference plans that have been in the works for years. I recognize circumstances changed (disappointingly) with our Friday plans.

This idea frankly should have come to us not as a ‘decision’ made by the subcommittee but as a recommendation, since it represents so fundamentally a shift in what the subcommittee - in my understanding - had been empowered to do. It should have been put forward as such ( a recommendation) with our being asked to vote or - better yet - come to consensus. This is difficult to do in an email forum which is a terrible place to facilitate conversation.

I feel like the ship has sailed though.

I think if we are giving money to support this event then Boots Riley’s talk should be included in our program as part of our conference and, in all of CCPA’s advertising, they should also be explicit in indicating that it is a part of our conference. If we are putting in money that was raised to support the conference (ie, this is what we told our funders it was going to - the conference) then I think anything less would be inappropriate.

That’s my two cents (or maybe $5000).

In reply to Sharon, I’m assuming that we will be returning the $5,000 that was specifically for Bragg.

In my own opinion, I’m happy to sponsor this and to make a healthy contribution. I don’t see any reason to be a co-presenter. In terms of benefits to us, our sponsorship would be acknowledged in any case. The difference between a $20 and $30 ticket is not substantive for almost all of our attendees and if anyone from the committee wants to attend the meet and greet, they can pay the $100 themselves. It being after the conference, I don’t think there is any need for a brief speech, etc.

My suggestion is that we simply sponsor the event to the tune of $5,000.

Hi, Jeff!

It *is* a split for sure. When you consider that CCPA is bearing the full costs of:

• venue rental • advertising and promotion • security/talent transportation • A/V and other event onsite needs • staff and supports

I can't supply a precise budget of these above costs, but they reach beyond $15K. I assure you.

All the work is to be done by CCPA-MB, too. It requires practically no labour from us.

It's a fair co-presenter's proposal.

So the total cost is just less than $25K Canadian

What other funding do they have?

UM Arts Labour Studies is putting in 5K. If we were to put in $11K, the Labour Studies/1919 total contribution would be $16K, or almost two-thirds of the cost. It starts to look like primarily our event.

One last comment. Consulting with the finance committee, it was pointed out that we are not entirely free to spend money, as we have to report to our donors. For instance, the MFL only gave us money for Bragg, the SSHRC money can only be spent on items itemized in the proposal (largely subsidized travel), the U of W money on open events. So, at the moment I'm afraid, I can't authorize any money beyond what we specifically asked for money to support, and until we see how our budget currently stands. The finance committee will discuss this over the next few days and see if we have any options. This doesn't necessarily mean that it's impossible to support Riley, but as the person responsible for reporting to our donors, I need to take care.

Strongly agree with Krishna.

Also, though a ticket discount may not be meaningful to many, there was a time in my life when even $10 off made a big difference to me. Any students or lower-income folks we want to attract to the conference will appreciate our efforts here.

I am extremely excited by the possibility of having the Boots Riley event linked to our conference! I'm very much looking forward to his talk - I've had tickets in hand since they first went on sale. I think he's a great fit for 1919 celebrations.

With that being said, I want to state upfront that I'm extremely uncomfortable being pushed to contribute to a decision-making process over email involving so much money and a change of date that presently falls outside our conference, fundamentally shifting conference plans that have been in the works for years. I recognize circumstances changed (disappointingly) with our Friday plans.

This idea frankly should have come to us not as a 'decision' made by the subcommittee but as a recommendation, since it represents so fundamentally a shift in what the subcommittee - in my understanding - had been empowered to do. It should have been put forward as such ( a recommendation) with our being asked to vote or - better yet - come to consensus. This is difficult to do in an email forum which is a terrible place to facilitate conversation.

I feel like the ship has sailed though.

I think if we are giving money to support this event then Boots Riley's talk should be included in our program as part of our conference and, in all of CCPA's advertising, they should also be explicit in indicating that it is a part of our conference. If we are putting in money that was raised to support the conference (ie, this is what we told our funders it was going to - the conference) then I think anything less would be inappropriate.

That's my two cents (or maybe $5000).

In reply to Sharon, I'm assuming that we will be returning the $5,000 that was specifically for Bragg.

In my own opinion, I'm happy to sponsor this and to make a healthy contribution. I don't see any reason to be a co-presenter. In terms of benefits to us, our sponsorship would be acknowledged in any case. The difference between a $20 and $30 ticket is not substantive for almost all of our attendees and if anyone from the committee wants to attend the meet and greet, they can pay the $100 themselves. It being after the conference, I don't think there is any need for a brief speech, etc.

My suggestion is that we simply sponsor the event to the tune of $5,000.

It *is* a split for sure. When you consider that CCPA is bearing the full costs of:

* venue rental * advertising and promotion * security/talent transportation * A/V and other event onsite needs * staff and supports

I can't supply a precise budget of these above costs, but they reach beyond $15K. I assure you.

All the work is to be done by CCPA-MB, too. It requires practically no labour from us.

It's a fair co-presenter's proposal.

So the total cost is just less than $25K Canadian

What other funding do they have?

UM Arts Labour Studies is putting in 5K. If we were to put in $11K, the Labour Studies/1919 total contribution would be $16K, or almost two-thirds of the cost. It starts to look like primarily our event.

Hi, folks!

Sorry for the delay by way of reply.

Boots fee is $17.5K (US) plus a $1.5K travel buyout.

In exchange for $9K-$11K (CDN) -- likely leaning towards the $11K side of things -- we receive:

1. Co-presenter/co-billing status 2. Reduced ticket price of $20 for up to 200 conference goers 3. 10 free $100 meet and greets with Boots at post-event wine and cheese for WGSCC Committee members/organizers/etc. 4. Full advertising in all materials, 5. Brief speaking time at the start of the event

That's what I have for now. I am hoping we can agree in principle on this by tomorrow and then I can flesh the details and produce the contract over the weekend.

Sorry, I'm in between meetings just now, but will write more later.

Good evening

I fully support the decision/suggestion made by the team. It is unfortunate that it has taken this long to find out Option A was not actually able to take place.

Providing a list of possible events to take in is a great alternative. The conference still has many components that need attention and scrambling to come up with a better option is not realistic. I also believe Boots Riley fully supports the vision and legacy of the Strike and the conference which cannot be manufactured.

Thank you, Juanita Froese

Hi

I’m not too concerned about putting aside tickets for the Boots Riley event. If we advertise it on our website (as we have already decided), people will know about it and, presumably if they’re keen on going, not wait until tickets might be sold out. Also, we cannot really offer discounted tickets (which I pointed out is not much of a discount) since so may people coming to our conference (particularly local people) will have already got their tickets.

Krishna: can you add a tab to our page (towards the right), labeled “Boots Riley Event.” The text should announce the CCPA has organized an event that will be of interest to Conference attendees, and include a link to the Eventbright site?

Thanks, Jim

Hi All: I understand the concern of the committee members who are alarmed by tis rather significant change in the program at this late date, and I appreciate the desire to have a custom-planned event on the Friday evening. Our decision to table this proposal to the whole committee was based on our realization that we have, effectively, run out of time to organize a great event for that evening. We did, I observe, also suggest that we compile a list of places and events for the delegates to do “on their own.” This idea seemed to solve several problems, by providing a big-name speaker to highlight our conference, by increasing the visibility of diversity in the program, and by offering delegates a great event as part of the conference. It’s a plus that it will be less costly for the committee, not just in money but also time, because CCPA will take care of the organizing. Although I supported the decision to forward this proposal to the committee, I completely understand if other members of the committee prefer to come up with an alternative plan. Unfortunately, Jason wasn’t able to join us in our planning sessions, but if you can get some help from the expert here, that might expand the available options. I think it’s worth remembering that we are about 8 weeks from the conference, so if we were to decide to ask CCPA to set aside tickets for our delegates, we might be wise to make a decision fairly soon. Given that as well as the difficulty of getting good attendance at an actual meeting on short notice, I would opt for a vote by email. We seem to be able to manage a pretty robust discussion on this medium, so perhaps we could trust this process to vote as well.
