Getting there
Carpooling: Check your registration form if you would like to combine forces and carpool to the conference. Shortly before the conference, we’ll send you the e-mails of other carpoolers in your region.
Coming from Boston? The Dartmouth coach is a carbon-friendlier way to travel. The bus departs Boston for Hanover (and vice versa) at two hour intervals throughout the day. Let us know if you plan to take the bus, and we can arrange a shuttle from Hanover.
On the way: More info coming soon!
Exhibits
Exhibit spaces are available on a limited basis so please let us know if you'll be bringing one. Exhibit space is free for those registering for the conference. (Limited exhibit space also will be available for commercial vendors who are not participating in the conference for a fee of $100. Contact Barry King, kinglet@together.net.)
Conference Greening
You can help make this conference greener!
The Lake Morey Resort is already leading us in their green initiatives but we can also take some steps on our own to do our part. Please remember to bring your own coffee mug, water bottle and nametag to the conference to help reduce our use of paper products. Please also try to carpool to the conference. All you need to do is check your registration form if you are interested in carpooling and shortly before the conference; we’ll send you the e-mails of other carpoolers in your region.
Presenters are also being asked to bring any handouts or presentations along with them in digital form. Once a presenter has presented they will be able to download their materials onto a community computer in which all conference participants are welcome to access and download the material for their own use. This will save lots of paper and energy so don’t forget your thumb drives!
