1.Umbrella Organization & Theme:
YES!+ and IAHV present... World Peace Youth Summit
IAHV has a broad reach and does lots of service that people can connect to, also a great website, and YES!+ gains the publicity and recognition as being connected to all of that
2. Getting the Venue
- Château on top of Mont-Royal - Looks beautiful! Montreal Team: Were you guys thinking inside or outside? We think outside looks more practical and appropriate. Have there been concerts there in the past? If so, it will be easier to figure out the logistics in terms of fencing, stage setup, etc.
- We should make sure we all have the same idea of the type of concert, price of tickets, indoor/outdoor, etc. $60 tickets?
3. Theme!!!
World Peace Youth Summit
celebrate what youth are doing for world peace etc
4. The Bands
- XAVIER RUDD!!! Is awesome, very popular, will bring a huge crowd, and his music completly fits the vision and the vibe. Check him out at www.xavierrudd.com !! And YouTube him.. Seriously this guy is amazing. We in Halifax are all very attached to the idea of having Xavier Rudd. Just so you know. And there is a logo of two swans and a sun on one of his albums. We think it is a sign. oooohhh....
- Jeremy Francis is a pop rocker from TO who won’t necessarily draw a huge crowd but will do an incredible job warming up the crowd as an opening act. He sings about love and knowledge and he’s awesome and he is JGD. www.myspace.com/officialfrancis
- Stefie Shock is cool. Are people still into him in Quebec? does he fit with the vision?
5. Sponsors
Ethical companies - are they too poor?
- Let’s all search for companies with good morals who we can feel comfortable with who also have tonnes of cash to give us for free!

7. Who is the MC?
