element14 Party

Who wants an element14 party? me image

Where should it be?

  • Leeds image
  • Chicago

When should it occur?

  • Summer 2019 image(people need time to plan)

It seems whenever a couple of element14 members get together, they have a good time, so why not try to see if we can get half a dozen to show up at the same place at the same time?

Possible agenda items:

  • introduce the element14 staff
  • take a quick tour of Farnell
  • have one or two members present a project they worked on
  • discuss element14 then and now and to come
  • check out a local pub (this could be the whole agendaimage)

The event could be webcast or even interactive.

There could even be a special technical contest to win a trip to the event and present your project. (hint, hint)

Please discuss availability, schedule, location and agenda items in the comments below...

    Hi, I have been watching this post. I really love the idea of bringing our members together and the idea of sponsoring one in Leeds and one in Chicago. And thanks MHub for offering to host the Chicago…

    Our office in downtown Chicago is close to what we still lovingly refer to as the "Sears Tower" even though outsiders call it something else... We're located along the Chicago river where there are great…

    There is a fair contingent of element 14 staff in Chicago. I tried to visit them one time but the guard in the lobby of the building would not let me go up to their offices and we were not able to get anyone to answer the telephone. This was before most of the current staff was there.

     

    I vote for Chicago. It is a really great city to visit with lots of things to do. An element 14 convention would be a great pretext for a Chicago Vacation.

    We could alternate between Leeds and Chicago in different years...

    Interesting concept.  There would have to be satellite meetings in other countries so all of the members would feel included.

    I'll volunteer to host the party at mHUB.  It's an incubator for hardware product development: https://mhubchicago.com/

     

    If the party is small we can use a classroom space, if it's large we can use the event space.

    I’m about 100 miles from Chicago, but the drive is never “fun”

    And a very valuable one it is!

     

    Leeds would be most realistic for me, though Chicago could perhaps be part of a bigger trip image

    I'm about 4000 miles from Chicago, the drive would be fun but rather wet,  so I vote for Leeds.

    Either location would be great, haven't had a big holiday in years. dougw Doug has a great idea, I would think Element14/Farnell will participate in the "Element14 Con : 2019 - Maybe 1st Annual Members Convention". Even if Element14/Farnell couldn't participate, it doesn't mean we can't still have a convention for ourselves. Another destination that would be great fun for everyone would be the 2019 CES in Las Vegas (Just a thought).
