5th International EarthCache Event (5IEE)
There are two primary ways to participate in 5IEE:
1) Access the log-book and vendor area, free of charge. Printing a free pass will help you gain easy access to the location inside the Colorado Convention Center. However, it will not get you into the presentations, activity rooms, nor any parts of the GSA Annual Meeting.
2) Register and pay a small fee to be able to attend presentations, visit activity rooms, and (optionally) gain access to the Geological Society of America (GSA) Annual Meeting.
Register online at the GSA Store.
*All attendees, ages 18 and up, who wish to gain access beyond the “free” level must register online in advance, or on-site on the day of the event.
*All attendees, under 18 years of age, can gain access to all of the same events, at no additional charge, for which their parents/guardians are registered.
*Register as a “Hard Core EarthCacher” and gain access to some of the best parts of the GSA Annual Meeting, such as the GSA Exhibit Hall and the GSA Poster Sessions (Scroll to bottom, 9:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. section).
*If you would like to make a voluntary donation to the EarthCache program, please visit the GSA Foundation website, enter an amount, and select the fund titled “EarthCache – Let the Earth Be Your Teacher!”.
*Attendees who register at the Hard Core EarthCacher level, and then donate $65.00 or more to the EarthCache program through the GSA Foundation, before 11:59 p.m. (Pacific), 9/20/16, will be deemed a “Friend of the Event”. In addition to being recognized by name on the event website and at the event itself, Friends also get access to the Friends, Speakers, and Vendors lounge, which is a quiet place to relax, socialize, tell caching stories, and enjoy small, complimentary refreshments.
*EarthCache volunteer reviewers, and Groundspeak Lackeys get full registration, full access, and “Friends of the Event” status at no cost. Contact Matt Dawson at GSA for instructions on redeeming your free registration.
