EAS is actively planning a safe and educational conference!
WHERE:
Paroquet Springs Conference Center
395 Paroquet Springs Drive
Shepherdsville, KY 40165
WHEN:
August 11th-13th, 2021
WHAT:
EAS is actively planning a safe and educational conference for 2021. The conference would be 3 days and include master beekeeper testing. At this time, there will not be a honey show. The venue is a large venue with adequate room for social distancing.
While this was all circumstance and not the fault of anyone, we have been off the radar like everyone else.
We need your help to get back in the swing of everything. Our folks are hard at work making things safe and still providing the quality of content and experience we hope you have come to expect from an EAS event.
In addition to that we just want you! It has been a huge theme that online virtual events were a fine alternative to help us when in-person was not feasible, but nothing can replace the tradition and familiar feeling of in-person reunions and meeting new friends.
Please as you speak with your clubs and fellow beekeepers mention that EAS is happening and help us spread the word. It would mean the world to us.
We will do our part to fill in the blanks on the details for things like a trade show (if possible - not fully committed yet) and speakers.
We do know there isn't likely to be a honey show, but the space will allow us to host master beekeeping testing!
There is still a lot to tell you, but we have to hold things off until we can nail down the details.
To get the first word on update check in to the EAS FACEBOOK page and follow us or back here as we will update things that are confirmed as we go forward.
SEE YOU IN AUGUST - WE CAN'T WAIT!!!!
