Mmm, I love artichokes.
Apparently my mom had cravings for them when I was in the womb. I don't know, but I'm guessing she had cravings for bonfires and s'mores too...

Exceptions may be made under rare and unusual circumstances, and require a letter explaining the need and justification for the requested support which must be submitted at the same time as the demonstration proposal. These requests will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis by the event organizers.Submission Guidelines and Evaluation of ProposalsDemonstrators should have a strong background in the traditional building trades, as well as the ability to convey their techniques and skills in a way that highlights the diversity, vitality and relevance of the traditional trades and contributes to their understanding and practice. The IPTW is an interdisciplinary event designed to attract participants of many backgrounds, ages and skill levels including tradespeople, allied disciplines, students and interested members of the public. The primary purpose of the International Preservation Trades Workshop and other PTN events and workshops is to provide a venue for "hands on" demonstrations and sharing of trades knowledge, skills and practice. Traditional conference type sessions on related topics are also welcome, but the main emphasis is on actual demonstrations, or in some instances on-going project work at a specific conference site or venue. Demonstrators may not use their sessions specifically as a vehicle for marketing proprietary products or services. Demonstrations and presentations typically take place in 90-minute concurrent sessions. Each session is generally repeated 2-3 times during the 3-day conference period to allow the maximum number of people to attend.Proposals will be evaluated by the event organizers using the following criteria: * Overall quality of the proposal and potential to contribute to a well-balanced program * Potential for significant contributions to the understanding and practice of the traditional trades * Practical applications of materials, techniques, and trades skills * Interdisciplinary relevance and broad application to conservation of cultural heritage and the built environment * Experience of the demonstrator/presenterRequirements for Demonstration or Presentation ProposalsPresenters are required to complete a Demonstration Proposal Form including the following information: * Complete contact information (name, title, business, phone, fax, e-mail) * Proposed session title and abstract.
