Notes from this meeting

• Based on the budget, it looks like it's a bit too expensive for us this time to organise an awards event exterior to the conference - discussion on whether we can then have it at the venue and then have a post-awards event
• Action: Ruth to do a straw poll on if people prefer an awards event that was external to the conference at 150-200 EUR per head, very swanky, high quality, glamorous and exciting, or having it at the conference, really fun evening of celebration with an official after-party.
• Corporate members of Mautic - do we have it set so that it costs more to submit more than one? Perhaps a cost of $250 for each proposal after the first one?
• We should start to think about who we want to have on the panels for each of the panel-based awards
• Invite them ourselves, personally, rather than an open call
• Determine what the panel thinks should be the judging criteria (bulleted list) - add that to the award categories page for more information for people submitting
