ABS BCI 2011 Conference Planning

April 1, 2008 19:51

by John Callaway

In June 2011 the Greater Louisville Bonsai Society will be hosting a joint American Bonsai Society (ABS) and Bonsai Clubs International (BCI) Learning Seminar and Conference.  Plans are currently underway.  We’ve started off well, but there’s still plenty of work left to be done.

One of the things outstanding is to name the conference.  The ABS Learning Seminar in 2007 was dubbed “Bonsai on the Beach” as it was held in Virginia Beach, literally on the beach.  We have decided to hold a contest for the Greater Louisville Bonsai Society to suggest a name.  Please have entries submitted to me in email or phone by Tuesday, April 8th.  Voting will be held at the upcoming planning meeting.

ABS BCI 2011 Seminar Planning

November 1, 2007 12:19

by John Callaway

The American Bonsai Society (ABS) and Bonsai Clubs International (BCI) have agreed to allow the Greater Louisville Bonsai Society to host a joint ABS/BCI Learning Seminar in Louisville, June 2011. This will take a lot of planning and organization to make a successful seminar.

In June 2007, the ABS Learning Seminar was held in Virginia Beach. This installment of the ABS Learning Seminar was dubbed "Bonsai on the Beach", as it was hosted in a resort hotel literally on the beach. Along those same lines we will be taking suggestions for naming of the ABS/BCI 2011 seminar in Louisville. Please have submissions in by Monday, February 18th 2008.

We are still very much in the planning stages for the seminar. Below you will find a proposed list of committees. If you have any experience with a specific field or any interest in helping with a particular group, please let us know. We will start forming these committees in the next few months. Regular meetings will be scheduled to help through the planning stages.

Proposed Committees

  • Publicity/Advertising
  • Registration/Hospitality
  • Facilities/Security
  • Vendors
  • Auction/Raffle
  • Exhibition
  • Teachers
