Re: APAM Visual Story

by Edwina Guinness

Dear All, Thanks for all the hard work and examples. The MTC ones are great. I particularly like seeing people walking into the building and at the various contact points. Thinking ahead to APAX Brisbane, you are not going to be on the site visit Nate, and I might not be able to get all the right images (unless I see a show and ask permission of box office and ushers) but if you could (after APAM) create a list of exactly what shots we need for each venue then I can work through them as part of the site visit.

Visual stories are documents (often videos, even better) that tell the ’story’ of attending an event or performance, from arrival to navigating the venue, what you’re likely to experience from a sights/sounds/mood point of view, during the event and after. It’s intentionally written in plain, relatively informal language. These are immensely useful to delegates for all kinds of reasons, eg sensory, anxiety, mobility. One APAM delegate uses forearm crutches to get around and has some other health considerations, and we discussed things like walking distances, stairs/steps, heavy doors, navigating buffet service, networking setup and venues, distance between catering stations and places to sit, where places to sit were, coach or taxi pick up and drop off points, and more. So you can see how images and video can be invaluable in providing a good sense of how to prepare for each day/venue. We do also have the Accessibility Guide, but the feedback we’ve gotten (that I got again yesterday) is that something like a Visual Story can be much more useful in a practical sense. Granted the attached isn’t hugely detailed, this one is a bit of a pilot / tester I’ve put together with what we had on hand. Next time I’ll join in on site visits to see the venues for myself and get images and walkthrough videos, and it will level up. Big thanks Eddie for helping me figure out how to word some things and Cecile who took some of the images we ended up using.

APAM registration close & late regos procedure

by Nate Newell

Hi all I wanted to summarise the procedure for late registration requests as we will all no doubt be asked. Please have a read and we can talk about this if needed in the APAM meeting tomorrow. APAM registrations close Tuesday 10th February at 6pm AWST. The current registration form link will still work but will be replaced with a landing page saying “registrations closed” and directing people to apam@paca. For requests to register coming through after then: * Requests must be emailed to apam(a)paca.org.au. No Teams messages please. * Sam or I will pick it up. Most likely Sam, but Sam sing out if you are feeling swamped and I’ll jump in. * Request is forwarded to: Virginia + Kath (for a decision) + Eddie (capacity/catering). Sam for ease pls add APAM LATE REG to the start of the email subject line thanks. * Decision gets made. Log it in the blue “Late Regos” tab in the APAM Master: [https://res-2.df.onecdn.static.microsoft/files/fabric-cdn-prod_20251010.003…] 1. APAM 2026 Master.xlsx<https://apacaperth.sharepoint.com/:x:/s/APAM/IQAH-SEmLSsmS4CQpk-0uixEAV2AHO…> * Go back to the delegate with an update and if applicable link to register. Reg process is per normal. Don't add them to the Name Tags sheet if they are registering in the system. * Backdoor registration form link will be: https://avolio.swapcard.com/apam2026/index/registrations/waitlist To note when registering after closing: * Credit card payment only, no invoice / PO#. * We cannot guarantee catering and accessibility requirements will be met, but will do our best [I think catering is an immovable object by now but access not as much]. * Will be in Swapcard. * Some sessions are already full. * If received before Feb 13, will get a name tag. * If received after Feb 11, will not be in the final Delegate Contact List published Feb 12. Questions to discuss during meeting: * Do we want to charge a Late Reg fee? I have not bothered to check Ts & Cs before asking this I just think we did it for APAX regos. Like the $55 admin fee. * Do we want to set a hard final deadline for accepting late registrations? * Can we establish if we are happy to accept registrations in person during event week? Thanks all.
