BUTCH Voices 2011 Networking Dinners
In 2009 BUTCH Voices organized networking dinners on Friday evening to help our attendees get to know each other outside of the context of the daytime conference sessions. We’re excited to invite you to join us again this year for these informal meet ups that will allow you to get to know some of your fellow attendees a little better.
If you haven’t yet gotten your tickets, please make sure to do so by registering here — and make sure to indicate whether or not you will join us for these delightful opportunities to mix and mingle with new friends.
BUTCH BnB: Host an Out of Towner
Are you a Local able to host one or more BUTCH Voices attendees as a guest in your home?
Post a listing on AirBnB today, for an out of towner looking for an affordable place to stay during the conference.
For some of our attendees – attending BUTCH Voices is can be difficult due to economic hardship, or as a function of those who live on a limited budget. As a way to offset these costs, we’ve put together a housing program with the help of a service called AirBnB.
AirBnB describes their offering as an opportunity to “… connect people who have space to spare with those who are looking for a place to stay. Guests can build real connections with their hosts, gain access to distinctive spaces, and immerse themselves in the culture of their destinations. ”
This year BUTCH Voices would like to like to extend our financial aid program to include the opportunity for Oakland’s Local residents to attend the conference in exchange for offering their extra space, and showing a little hospitality to an out of town guest.
