For Out-Of-Town Presenters:
Accommodations:
If you don’t live in
Portland, we will find you a clean, comfy, free place for you to stay among the
community of organizers and volunteers who are organizing the Symposium. Call
or email Henry Welch, our Presenter Host, with your particular accommodations
needs.
Transportation:
We will pick you up from a
train, plane, or bus and/or help you find a low cost parking spot for the
Symposium weekend, Friday, July 29-Sunday, July 1st. If you do not wish to stay
in a private home, we can help you identify local hostels, bed and breakfasts,
and hotels in or near the N. Mississippi area that you can pay for yourself.
Please contact Henry Welch with your transportation needs.
Marketing, Promotion, and Social Networking
We are counting on you, the
presenters, to join us in spreading the word about the Symposium. Please create
chats and posts on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Tumblr, Meet Ups and other
social networking sites. Maybe you want to make a video about your workshop and
post it on YouTube as a teaser? Please put notices and postings about your
presentation and the rest of the Symposium on your individual websites and
newsletters. Send links to your websites to Audrey Brown, our Web Mistress.
Please feel free to share your thoughts and ideas, and grow this budding new
movement, enviro-strategy, and EcoSexual identity by writing blog posts to our website
www.EcoSex.org. Pick up
posters and postcards from Gabriella Cordova’s house: Lotus Heart Center at
4124 N. Mississippi or call Ethan Edwards to make arrangements to pick them up.
Fundraising and Sponsorships
We
have created an online crowd funding campaign on IndieGoGo.com to create the funds for the keynote speakers and
other basic costs such as venues, posters and postcards. Please consider
donating $5-10 yourself before May 29th as this will increase our web traffic
and help make the crowd funding campaign successful. Please direct your friends
and supporters to this site (http://igg.me/p/93850?a=472232) before May 26th. Also, we have great sponsorship
packages which you can see on our website. Feel free to cut and paste and send
to people or businesses you think are likely sponsors. It is our goal to raise
$8-10,000.00 to cover the costs of the Symposium. We are looking for a printing
company to do our program and product sponsors to have their own booths
Volunteers Needed
We
need volunteers. Please have your friends and associates connect with Teri
Ciacchi, Volunteer Coordinator, to get involved. If you have a friend who would
like to see your presentation for free, recruit them to be the onsite workshop
door person for your presentation. We need help; as you can see from the list
of organizers below, this is a small crew of people which needs to expand exponentially
for the conference to be successful. Volunteer positions will be listed on the Volunteer tab on our website. Volunteer “perks” can include
full conference packets (valued at $169) if volunteers can document they have
done 5-10 hours of work weekly between now and July 2. Smaller work trades are
available for on-site, i.e. registration booth shifts, presenter audio visual
assistance & door shifts, and making food for organizing team members during
the Symposium.
Call for Collaboration
On
our website under the tab Sponsor
& Collaborate is our vision of
collaborations. Please encourage people you know to collaborate in congruence with
this vision. Feel free to create your own collaborations.
