Calling all ESA conference attendees: NCEAS, LTER and SNAPP have reserved McMenamin's Mission Theater in Portland for a free evening celebration on Wednesday Aug 9 from 7pm-11pm.
With entertainment, food, and free drink tickets for the first 150 arrivals, we intend to offer a nice off-site space to mix and mingle with colleagues new and old. Around 8pm, three professional storytellers will take the stage to share fun science-themed stories. (And we encourage volunteers to sign-up to share 1-min stories during the event's "open-mic") Venue capacity is about 280 so arrive early if you want guaranteed entry. This event is open to ESA participants only.
