[Stoves] ETHOS registration reminder, payment incentive deadline extended!

[ETHOS Conference]

Hi all,

 

If you are planning to come to ETHOS but have not yet registered for ETHOS, now is the time to do so here:  <http://www.ethoscon.com/2016-registration> http://www.ethoscon.com/2016-registration.

 

If you have not PAID your conference fee (which is a separate step from registration), please do so by clicking on any of the “Buy Now” PayPal buttons you see around the site after clicking on the “Full/$60” or “Student/$30” option above it.  

 

Payment ahead of time is not required, but greatly appreciated, as it reduces the logistical burden on our event volunteers!  And as further incentive, I’ve extended the pay in advance prize drawing deadline to January 22nd!  

 

While you’re at it, please consider donating to our scholarship fund to bring stovers from the developing world to ETHOS for some major two-way learning.

 

Finally, one last request.  Are you bringing a stove to ETHOS to demo during the Sunday afternoon Lighting of the Stoves?  If so, please consider bringing something to cook on it, to add to the conviviality of the afternoon—cider, hot cocoa, pancakes, quesadillas, whatever suits you.  :)  I will be contributing s’mores ingredients, as usual, and I’m told another ETHOS long-timer will be providing something even more exciting!

 

Thank you and have a wonderful weekend,

Elisa

Subject: ETHOS registration and abstract submission now officially launched!

 

Dear all,

 

ETHOS 2016 is officially launched!  Please register and submit abstracts now at http://www.ethoscon.com! 

 

Please note that registration is a 3 step process:

 

1.Register here: http://www.ethoscon.com/2016-registration/.  One registration per individual, please—each person needs a separate registration. The registration form will ask you about your payment, and a voluntary donation, but you will need to actually process these payments separately.

 

2.Once your registration submission is confirmed, please return to the registration page or main ETHOS page to pay online. As always, you may pay in cash at the door, but it will be much easier for the ETHOS volunteers if as many participants as possible pay online ahead of time.  Aaaaand, by paying in advance you will be entered into a drawing for fabulous prizes (legacy PCIA swag – aka historic cookstove collector’s items!).

 

3.Once your fee is submitted, please consider making a (separate) tax-deductible donation to the Mark Bryden Scholarship Fund to support one participant per year from a developing region (Africa/Asia/LAC) with direct field experience who would otherwise not be able to come. ETHOS will administer this scholarship fund. This is a great way for us to learn from successful implementers, and for them to be able to get feedback on their work from the ETHOS community!

 

If you’d like to present/speak at ETHOS, please submit a brief abstract (note the word limits on the form).  Abstract submission is a 1 step process:

 

1.Fill out this form by Friday December 18th and submit! http://www.ethoscon.com/ethos-2106-abstract-submission/

 

ETHOS will be Friday January 29th – Sunday January 31st, 2016.  As in past years, we have blocked rooms at the Baymont Inn in Kirkland, and Friday afternoon/evening activities will take place there.  Saturday and Sunday sessions (starting early Sat am, and ending by 5pm on Sunday) will again be at Northwest University.  See the logistics page for more info! Now’s a good time to make your lodging reservations, too. You can find Baymont hotel information on the registration and logistics pages.

 

Looking forward to seeing you then!

 

Best,

Elisa 

Your friendly neighborhood ETHOS President
