We're Ready…
We are all set and excited that you will be attending our Federation
of New York Solid Waste/Recycling Conference & Trade Show at The
Sagamore at Bolton Landing on Lake George from May 16 – 19, 2010!
Overflow Hotels
The Sagamore will have scheduled shuttle buses operating from Bolton
Landing (Bolton Pines, Carey’s, Melody Manor and Northward Ho)
Monday and Tuesday. The schedule will be printed in the Welcome Program.
If you happen to be in love with your car and must drive daily, you
will be circling the parking lots looking for a space. There will be
absolutely no parking on the entrance roads which causes a safety hazard.
What to Bring?
On Monday, it’s usual business attire. However, when you wake
up Tuesday morning, look outside your window. You are on an island…not
going to the office, and there are networking recreational activities
on the agenda! Bring along a shirt/sweater with your employer logo and
business cards so when you meet someone new on the boat, fishing, golf
course, hiking, horseback riding, tennis court or at the evening reception,
they can link your name and employer.
Registration…
Our registration desk will open Sunday at 3:00 p.m. Stop by while the
line is short because there will be some refreshments. It will stay
open through the Adirondack Cook-out and re-open daily at 7:30 a.m.
Payment of Conference Registration Fee prior to the conference
is your responsibility. If we do not receive your registration fee payment
prior to the conference, cash, check or credit card payment will be
expected at time of check-in. Contact Angela Schmidt, Registration
Coordinator, if you have any questions.
Name Badges
Admission to all activities, technical sessions and the trade show
requires a Conference name badge. Lost or damaged name badges can only
be replaced at Registration in the Conference Center for a fee of $
5. Please remember to turn in your name badge for reuse when you leave.
Special Note to Exhibitors: National trade shows double or triple attendee
fees to subsequently support multiple booth personnel and visitors (free
passes). The NY Federation board has adopted a policy whereby every
person is expected to 1.) pay the appropriate fee, and 2.) wear a conference
name badge. If you want to bring an additional person(s) along, please
note that an exhibitor booth comes with only one complimentary conference
registration. Any questions should be directed to Sarah
Meyer.
Program Participants…
Moderators, speakers and panelists meet each morning in the Conference
Center to finalize the day’s logistics such as audiovisual, lighting,
hand-outs. See Debbie Jackson for audiovisual needs. <\p>
Significant Others' Participation - YES!
While you are busy in the technical sessions or trade show, there are
plenty of activities
for your guest to enjoy at The Sagamore and in the Lake George area.
We don’t want anyone to feel left out so for $210 your guest can
join you for the continental breakfasts, breaks and lunches listed in
the program.
Trade Show…
Besides the 90 technical sessions, we will have 113 booths inside and
equipment outdoors. 20% of these exhibitors are new this year so plan
on spending a lot of time in the Events Center.
The Trade Show ends Tuesday at noon; however, public agencies will
be featuring their programs in the Conference Center through the close
of the conference. This is a great way to learn from your peers!
Tuesday Activities
Tuesday afternoon will be loaded with plenty of fun things to do –
many which entail advanced planning for.
· Golfers contact Jay
Pisco for foursomes.
· Fishing contact Dennis
Woodsinger to obtain licenses.
· Hikers contact Tom
Rhoads for the rugged trail details up Pilot Knob.
· Tennis players contact Jeff
Edwards for court times.
· NEW!! Perennial Gardeners contact Dave
Blackman for more information.
If you are interested in the Sutton’s Lake George Outlet Shopping,
culinary demo or horseback riding, see or contact Angela
Schmidt.
The Sagamore Changes
You will no longer check in at the first building you come to after
crossing the bridge. Check in is now in the Main Hotel.
Spring Cleaning - Win-Win!
How about checking out your storage area and seeing if you have any
excess or leftover inventory of gifts which you would like to clear
out? Don’t worry if it is dated (all the more reason to get rid
of it!) or the quantity. You reduce old inventory AND reuse it to get
your company name out to the professional community. Bring it with you
and drop it off at the registration desk, and we’ll take it from
there.
2011 Conference
The 2011 Exhibitor
and Sponsor Applications are available for our May 1 – 4,
2011 conference at The Sagamore. Platinum ($ 5,000), Gold ($ 2,500)
and Silver ($ 750) sponsors also have the first opportunity to select
their 2011 booth location, but only until Monday, May 17th, 2010 @ 5:00
p.m. Non-sponsorship Booth Only selection will be available beginning
Tuesday morning.
Oops!
We are becoming a very large group with lots of new faces. Each morning,
you’ll be greeted at the door. Please feel free to ask the greeter
for help or stop by the registration desk and we’ll find someone
to help you out with things such as dietary needs, linking up with someone
in your field or simply finding out more about our organization and
how you can get involved. We want you to feel welcome and have a good
time with us!
Also, we ask for your patience. All the people who you will see working
are volunteers. Sometimes things are unintentionally overlooked. If
you need help with a problem, see Russell Rutkowski, Conference Chair
or Terry Laibach, Vice Conference Chair, and we’ll get it straightened
out.
