Madison is a great place to visit! One of only a few cities in the world built on an isthmus, Madison has become a destination mecca for national and international meetings and conferences, offering both small town charm and a range of cultural and recreational opportunities usually found in much larger cities. Voted the Friendliest City in the Midwest, Madison sports the best of all worlds with incredible natural beauty, limitless outdoor recreation activities year-round, an amazing array of cultural opportunities, fabulous shopping, and superb dining. Downtown Madison, set on a narrow strip of land between two glacial lakes, is very pedestrian-friendly, and within walking distance of the Concourse Hotel. Read more about travel and lodging.
I spoke to michael@timebanks.org about registering as a student. I understand the student cost is $20. I was an intern at the Mid Maine Time Bank and will likely be its next coordinator. I believe I have found the funds for travel to Madison. I am still looking for lodging opportunities.
Was wondering if I could videotape some of the conference for future Time Bankers?
Yes! Please do! We will accept any video that you submit – we hope to incorporate some video footage taken by conference-goers into a series of online trainings; it would also be great to post them to our youtube channel (www.youtube.com/timebanksusa).
