Welcome & Instructions
This site will help you quickly make connections with your colleagues heading to Canada-e-Connect. The first step is to create an account. Then, you can choose any or all of these ways to connect:
Ride, Room and Flight Match
The Green Travel Networking system helps you meet people and make the journey to our conference become part of the conference. The site is similar to a carpool, flight-connections and hotel-roommate bulletin board or classifieds, but makes your search easier by sorting everyone's answers for you. It's easier to use than explain: you just fill out a page describing your travel plans and needs (the same as if you were filling in a paper form), hit a button, and a list of people the computer thinks might be good matches is returned. You email them, or they email you, and you make your own plans.
- Step 1: Prepare your post and search.
- Step 2: Search other people's posts and contact them.
- Step 3: Close your account when you've found your matches.
We're hoping that everyone will use the Green Travel Networking site to find a neighbor you haven't yet met, and come to our gathering together.
Conference Discussion Forum
The Discussion Forum is a place for ideas and conversations. The first step is to go to the introduce yourself page. Let people know who you are, your particular interests, what you can share or teach, and what questions or projects you'd like help with. Do this as early as you can, so other people can begin connecting. As the conference gets closer, visit again to see other participants' introductions and start sharing, and some speakers will be describing their programs and asking for questions. Want other people to contact you? Click my account and look under Contact settings. Also at my account you can adjust your Subscriptions to get notices when people post about topics that interest you. During and after the conference, continue the discussions. There are places to network, to ask questions and answer other people's questions.
