11th International Slipper Symposium - Oct 25-26 - Altamonte Springs, FL
New information has been added since this was originally posted. New information is in RED.
Frank is in Medellin, Colombia this week for the big orchid show, so he asked me to post this information in his absence.
The 11th International Slipper Symposium will be held the weekend of October 25-26 this year at the same venue as last year - The Holiday Inn at Altamonte Springs.
The official web page is at http://home.cfl.rr.com/slipperorchids/ but if it’s easier to remember – just go to the Krull-Smith website at http://www.krullsmith.com and link directly from the front page.
Official contact is Jamie Lawson at 772-664-6453 or [email protected]
Registration is $60 before Oct. 1, $75 after Oct. 1, and $100 at the door – that includes lunch, snacks, plus the Champagne BBQ and Sunday breakfast at Krull-Smith.
The first 100 registrants will receive a FREE slipper seedling at the door, courtesy of Krull-Smith.
Registration form is available for download on the official website.
Lectures, Orchid Plant, Book and Related Items Sales and all day on Saturday, Oct. 25th.
Speakers are:
Hadley Cash of Marriott Orchids
Jason Fischer of Orchids Limited
Olaf Gruss, International Author (Here is your chance to get Olaf’s recent book on albino slippers!)
The complete schedule of lectures and events is available on the official website.
The organizers recommend people arrive on Friday, October 24, as registration begins at 8:00am and lectures begin promptly at 9:00am on Saturday, October 25.
The Champagne BBQ will be at the Krull-Smith pavilion Saturday evening, and there will be an open house of the private greenhouses at Krull-Smith on Sunday morning. Breakfast will be provided.
