thank you!
Thank you for registering for the Appalachian Public Interest Environmental Law conference!
On behalf of all of us on the APIEL Organizing Committee, I'd like you to know that we are very excited to see you at the 1st annual APIEL conference in Knoxville, Tennessee this weekend. With over 150 registrants and counting, APIEL is shaping up to be a very successful and productive forum on many of our region's most pressing ecological issues.
Here are a few pointers and points of interest to help make your experience this weekend more smooth, productive, and enjoyable:
Payment
Please be reminded that the registration fee for this conference is $45.00. Need-based scholarships are available to attendees and presenters alike.
If you have not already paid your registration, don't fret; just pay when you check in at the registration table when you arrive. Registration will be available on Friday night at Barley's and all weekend at the conference. Cash, check or money order is acceptable.
If you need a scholarship and haven't yet applied for one, please fill one out right away. Scholarships must be applied for before the conference on the registration page of the website at www.apiel.org. Just fill out the "Fee Waiver" form below the registration form. We will ask our scholarship recipients who are not presenters for some volunteer assistance at the conference.
Locations
Friday night, 6:00pm - 10:00pm
We will hold a welcome reception on Friday night with live music and complementary dinner (pizza, salad & tea) at Barley's Taproom & Pizzeria in the Old City at 200 E. Jackson Ave. in Knoxville. Registration will be available at Barley's for those of you who have not yet registered or paid. Look for us upstairs in the back room.
Saturday, 8:00am - 4:45pm
The APIEL conference will be held at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville's College of Law, 1505 W. Cumberland Ave. Knoville, TN 37996. You are on your own for lunch on Saturday. Ask at the registration table for a Knoxville guide & a map to find your kind of cuisine.
Saturday, 6:30pm - 9:00pm
A benefit dinner will be held for Knoxville-based United Mountain Defense ( www.unitedmountaindefense.org ) at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church, 2931 Kingston Pike, Knoxville, TN 37919. Please join us for delicious food by our chef Scott Parkin, live gyspy jazz, and the film 'Coal Country' presented by its producers.
Saturday, After party
An after party is being held in an interesting location for conference goers after the benefit dinner. Come and help us lighten the keg! See your conference brochure for directions to the party.
Sunday, 10:00am - 1:30pm
The APIEL conference will be held at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville's College of Law, 1505 W. Cumberland Ave. Knoville, TN 37996. You are on your own for lunch on Sunday. Ask at the registration table for a Knoxville guide & a map to find your kind of cuisine.
Parking
The most convenient parking for the conference is only a block away from the law school. You may park in the large lot on the corner of Clinch Ave & James Agee/15th St. for $5.00 a day. A cheaper alternative is to cruise the neighborhood's sidestreets for one of the free spots.
What to Bring
Your best thoughts, an open and curious mind, something to write on, and your own reusable cup for complementary coffee, tea, and water.
Caucuses
It is our hope that APIEL conference attendees will use this event as an opportunity to spark new collaboration between activists, funders, scientists and public interest attorneys. To that end, we have provided a 75-minute session at the end of the day Saturday where 5 rooms will be available for anyone who wishes to call a caucus meeting on any subject. A large whiteboard will be provided in the common space at the law school for people to call caucus meetings and indicate their locations. Caucus meetings can be used to coordinate work and foster alliance-building on specific issues; to recruit volunteers; to hold ad hoc presentations and anything else that caucus organizers find to be relevant. Don't be shy - host a caucus!
Conference Schedule
For a detailed schedule of the conference, see the 'Presentations' page at www.apiel.org. Specific room locations will be provided in your conference schedule brochure, which you can pick up at the registration table when you arrive.
Lawyers & CLE Credit
Lawyers seeking CLE credit at this conference will need to check in both at the registration table and the CLE table upon arrival.
Presenters
Please check in at the registration table. All of your questions can be answered there, or can be referred to the CLE staff, nearby.
