Place: HVT sauna premises

Time: 18:30 ->

1. International affairs
Terhi presented current status. TCEurope meeting coming up. Intecom: situation continues unclear. Proposal accepted to quit Intecom, since nothing seems to be happening. We can always rejoin later if something moves.

TCEurope Colloquim takes place in Paris, 16.4.

2. Local events: Helsinki in the making (Mladen & Hanna). Invite ideas from members on local events, and also where to have the local events. Tytti could contact Suvi on organizing something in Vaasa. Tytti also has an idea about organizing something around the people doing research in the field of tech comms (latter one in Tampere).

3. Membership: how to get more.
* Benefits of joining:
- Events
- Website (activate discussions)
- Networking with colleagues
* Membership increase campaigns:
- Asking our members to tell their colleagues, prize draw for whoever brings members. (Anne makes a suggestion, have to include how we get the person suggesting a new member)
- Best idea reward: how would you sell this to your friends.
- Presence in social media (linkedin, facebook, twitter?)
- Scout company sites (traditional industry type), Mladen gathers list (Kone, ABB, Wärtsilä, Nokian capacitors, Metso, Insta, Patria, also SW companies like Basware, Digia, Tieto...)
- Noora could have good ideas for this? (society intro mail to contact tradit industry)
- Anne to contact Riitta@Doctrina
