CoTech Stall at Co-op Congress 2025

The CoTech call today we discussed what would be need to be done to organise a CoTech stall to promote CoTech at Co-op Congress in Rochdale, 4th-5th July 2025, this is going to be a bigger than usual event due to the UN year of co-ops and the ICA Festival of Co-operatives, if we do agree to proceed with this we will probably need to use some of the CoTech fund to pay for things like booking the stall and banners etc, when we have a better idea about the numbers we can add a poll to this thread, what do people think, is this a good idea? All of us on the call today thought it was!

Spend £500 of the CoTech fund on a stall at Co-op Congress You have until Wed 7 May 2025 6:00PM to participate.
Tomorrow a SolidFund proposal for £2000 for CoTech Brand Refresh for Coops Congress 2025 should be approved, however since that proposal was written we have found out that a stall at Co-op Congress will cost £500 (we should also get a free ticket for a CoTech speaker to participate in a panel discussion). We discussed this in the CoTech call today and agreed to post a proposal here to pay £500 for the stall out of the CoTech fund.

Seems a sensible use of funds
