+	- When do we start looking for a jury, for conference givers ?
+	- When do we start promoting the event, making it public, sending presskits and invites to people ?

+
+# Attendees
+
+Alex
+Marco
+Tim
+Luciana 
+
+Qui absent and excused
+
+# Conference
+
+A bit risky ? Doing it in the same time frame
+
+# Location
+
+Zurich is easiest to organize and gather gamedevs to, we should try to do it for a first live event edition there to mitigate risks.
+
+# Respos
+
+Tim and Luciana to make a list of theaters that could host the events and contact them to get an offer and their available dates. Luciana has another venue in mind which could be nice.
+
+Tim asks the ZFS
+
+We should all come with Categories ideas
+
+Marco to discuss dates for the conference if they have one
+
+Alex to create a template / skeleton for application funding
+
+# Categories
+
+more categories, up to 6-7 (whole event for up to 2h max, hopefully less)
+fund categories 
+create trophies
+Should we double the awards with the ESports federation to get some player-centric events
+Best Swissness awards - swiss tourism funding it ?
+
+Hire a professional for host
+
+# Nominees
+
+4 nominees per category
+Let public suggest games for nomination and then ask the devs for the necessary resources
+What is an eligible dame developer, how swiss should they be? No publishers, only developers. Let's discuss it at the board meeting
+
+# needs
+
+We need categories
+Venue options
+Size we want it to be
