05/17/10 10:02 AM by Dave Rolsky

We've extended the early bird rate until Friday, May 28. That means you still have time to purchase your conference ticket before the price bump. But there's no need to wait. Why not purchase your ticket today?

Draft Schedule is Up

Our first draft at a schedule is now available.

You might notice some holes in the schedule. We mostly have those filled, but we're waiting to get workshop titles and abstracts from the speakers in question.

Register now before the early bird rate ends on May 14!

Registration is live, so please go ahead and buy your ticket. Please consider registering as an individual sponsor to support the conference, if you can afford to do so.

Also, we have our final keynotes confirmed. Zoe Weil of the Institute for Humane Education and Erica Meier of Compassion Over Killing will both be giving keynotes at TLOV 2010. Also this year, Compassionate Action for Animals will have a keynote slot (hey, it's our conference, why not?).

Call for Speakers is live

02/23/10 02:37 PM by Dave Rolsky

Our Call for Speakers is live on the site, and we are accepting submissions. The call is open until midnight on March 26.

This year, we are accepting proposal for half or full day classes to be held on Friday, as well as our usual shorter format talks. These classes will be available for an additional fee to attendees, and the fee will be determined by the speaker. This is a great way to offset the cost of travel and attendance. We hope that these classes will provide practical skills training for attendees who are interested in becoming better activists.
