Q: Is the Vanity Theater accessible to the disabled?

A: The Vanity Theater is accessible to the disabled.  There are no stairs to navigate and several seats at the front and rear of the theater have been removed to accomodate wheel chairs.


Q: Why Crawfordsville, Indiana for an Energy Conference?

A: Several (of many) reasons...in no particular order:

*) This 'cookie cutter' conference has been designed to be a 'canned event.'  It can be passed onto anyone interested in hosting a similar gathering in their community.  Do you want to host this event in Indianapolis, Evansville, Fort Wayne, LaPort or Richmond, Indiana?  Secure a venue/event particulars and the website can be updated accordingly.

*) It is hoped that this conference will foster long lasting and robust community connections among west central Indiana residents.

*) Crawfordsville is central to Indianapolis, Lafayette, Greencastle, Terre Haute, Danville, Il.


Q: What are you selling?

A: We're not selling anything, we're not pushing any particular way of looking at the world. Our goal is to bring people together to peacefully and openly discuss relevant issues that affect our lives, our understanding of the past, and our future. Whatever background you are from, we're sure you'll find the event stimulating and worthwhile if you are willing to participate in an open-minded way.

A: Please feel free to send an e-mail to frank@indianaenergyconference.org and let us know what's on your mind - we're happy to try to answer any questions you have. If you'd like to talk to us on the phone instead, that's fine too, just send an e-mail letting us know that would be helpful.
