Event Program
Hosted By: Oct. 18-20, 2012 DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Portland, Oregon Sponsored By: 2 Welcome from Our Executive Director October 15, 2012 Dear Attendees, On behalf of Reuse Alliance’s Board of Directors, I would like to thank you for joining us for ReuseConex 2012, the 2nd International Reuse Conference and Expo. Reuse Alliance is proud to host a unique event which brings together such a diverse and resourceful community of individuals and organizations. Our goal with ReuseConex was to create an environment where we can come together to network, explore common challenges and opportunities, and share ideas and best practice. We hope you will enjoy the conference and its theme: Growing Reuse Communities. Reuse contributes to the economic, social and environmental fabric of our communities. At ReuseConex you will learn top tips and replicable models from reuse professionals that represent almost every aspect of reuse – from repair and upcycling to reusables and collaborative consumption. We encourage you to bring these valuable tools back to your communities to help reuse grow and thrive. We would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude for the immense efforts of our local hosts – Community Warehouse, Habitat ReStore Portland and SCRAP, and our planning committee members, especially our committee chairs – Kelley Carmichael Casey, Joe Connell, Cindy Correll, Joanna Dyer, Alyssa Kail, Katie Pichette, Andy Olds and Nicole Tai. Likewise, we are grateful for the support of our sponsors – including Goodwill Industries International, Metro, City of Portland’s Bureau of Planning and Sustainability, Oregon Department of Environmental Quality and Goodwill Industries of the Columbia Willamette; as well as the inspiring ideas and exciting products and services that will be shared by our speakers, moderators and exhibitors. And of course we couldn’t overlook thanking you – our attendees – you are the reuse movement! By choosing to reuse in your daily lives you are helping to create a cleaner environment, a greener economy, and a more creative and compassionate society. Without your interest, time and support this conference and our work thus far, could never have been realized. I encourage you to continue to join our efforts to build a stronger reuse movement by becoming a Reuse Alliance member. Enjoy ReuseConex, and be sure to join us for future Reuse Alliance activities!

On behalf of the City of Portland, we are honored to be hosting this year’s ReuseConex International Reuse Conference and Expo. Portland is a national leader in the sustainability movement and I hope that you find that it is an ideal place to explore ways to improve awareness of, and access to, reuse opportunities. The City of Portland has a lot to offer. Please enjoy our well-connected public transportation network and sustainably minded hotels. We encourage you to experience first hand Portland’s reputation for livability by exploring urban parks and natural areas, dining at local restaurants, and supporting our local artisan economy.

Today, iFixit’s online platform provides intuitive step-by-step repair guides and a discussion forum for a growing international community. Every day iFixit helps thousands of people repair their devices. iFixit does this because companies don’t provide repair parts and documentation to end users, and iFixit believes everyone should have the right to maintain and repair their products. By sharing repair knowledge, everyone has more control over what happens to their stuff. iFixit wants to make that possible for everyone in the world to know how to fix anything. The easier it is to fix something, the more people will do it. After all, a ten-minute repair session is often all it takes to save an item from the landfill. Wien’s address will cover the important links between repair/reuse, environmental and economic sustainability; as well as access to information and community building. Biography: Kyle Wiens is the co-founder and CEO of iFixit, an online repair community internationally renowned for their open source repair manuals and product teardowns. Launched out of his Cal Poly college dorm room in 2003, iFixit has now empowered upwards of 15 million people to repair their broken stuff. In 2012, he started Dozuki, a software company that is revolutionizing online technical documentation for manufacturers. Kyle is a board member of the IEEE CE Society and Softec. He has testified on electronic exports in front of the International Trade Commission and is actively involved in developing global environmental standards. Kyle regularly speaks on design for disassembly, technical writing, repair, service documentation, and the environmental impact of electronics at forums like MacWorld, eScrap, and TeKom. He also regularly writes for media outlets including The Atlantic, Harvard Business Review, Wired, TreeHugger and iFixit.org. 12 Great prices, great causes ReUse with the ReStore The Habitat ReStore sells high-quality, reused building materials, appliances, furniture, and hardware at discounted prices. and START STOP START COOK STOP COOK 6:22 am 6:22 am Save! 1 2 3 1 42 53 6 4 75 86 9 7 08 #9 / 0 # / Easy on Your Budget, Easy on the Planet.
