Gain notoriety and bragging rights by showing conference attendees the great time had by all at your center. This was a huge hit last year! The conference host committee will judge and select the top two or three to show at the awards banquet on Friday, November 4, with others being shown throughout the conference. We aren't looking for promotional videos, but rather the videos that highlight your center's staff, instructors, participants and equines having a great time. Click here for an example from Hearts & Horses, Inc., a PATH Intl. Premier Accredited Center in Loveland, CO, the big winners from last year.
 
Email your videos to Cher Smith. For larger video files, mail a CD or flashdrive, or email Cher for Dropbox instructions. Note: We need the actual video, not a YouTube or Vimeo link. Submissions must be sent by September 15 to allow time for judging. Please include a photo/video release form with submission.

Please mark the table reservation on your online registration or on your registration form through October 10. (Don't forget to include the name(s) you would like on the table.) There will also be a signup sheet on site in Williamsburg at the registration desk through noon on Thursday, November 3. Phone confirmations will not be accepted.

If you have questions, contact Jaime Covington.

Colonial Williamsburg is a 301-acre living history museum. Costumed employees work and dress as people did in the era, sometimes using colonial grammar and diction. Surviving colonial structures have been restored to estimates of their 18th-century appearance, with traces of later buildings and improvements removed. Of the approximately 500 buildings reconstructed or restored, 88 are labelled original. Unlike dry, dusty textbooks, Williamsburg will awaken a love of history!
