Social Activities

We are hosting a workshop dinner for TES VII workshop participants as a way to maintain some of the intimacy of the TES workshop within the larger ASC conference. The cost of dinner will be largely covered by the generous contribution from our sponsors, STAR Cryoelectronics, Luxel and High Precision Devices.








TES-VII Workshop Banquet

Location: Zen Fusion restaurant, 1716 Kenilworth Avenue, Charlotte, North Carolina 28203, Phone 704.358.9688

Zen Fusion restaurant is reachable by foot, about a 30 minute walk; or a quick cab ride away. We have the whole restaurant booked. There is seating available for up to 100 people, including inside and outside seating on a patio. For a map of directions, click here.

Attendance List

The cost of the banquet for the first 70 people to respond is $20 (including service). Beverages are available and must be paid for directly by individuals at the dinner. For each additional person after the first 70, the cost will increase to $40, so reserve your place early - no payment is needed for the reservation, but you will be honor-bound to pay. Payment ahead of time using paypal (ideally right away) is desirable for those able to do so, and maybe groups of you could arrange for some collective payments in this way - see bottom of page for details. Cash may be collected by the ASC conference organizers on Sunday 10th and Monday 11th August, or else at the door of the restaurant. People associated with other low temperature detectors are also very welcome to join the TES workshop dinner.

Paypal details:

Please make a payment for $20 person to the following e-mail address from your paypal
account (https://www.paypal.com/) :

        sbandler1@yahoo.com

Please clearly state the name(s) of the person (people) for whom the payment is being made.
You should send the money as the "personal payment to a friend" option rather than purchase
of goods or services, in order to avoid any fee. If you don't, the amount that will come through
to me will be $3 less.

Paypal is free for you to use if making a payment from your bank account or paypal account.
(If you make a payment with a credit card, in the recent past it was 30 cents plus 2.9% of the
transaction amount.)

We are not sure what the situation is for international paypal payments. International participants
are responsible for determining themsleves whether this is possible, and how to send $20. It is
probably best for international participants to plan to pay by cash at the meeting.
