This is just north of the downtown area and there is convenient, free

We have an excellent program shaping up, including speakers, field trips,
workshops, and panel discussions.  Most field trips will occur the weekend
before the Symposium (Saturday October 14 and/or Sunday October 15).
Workshops will be on the final day of the Symposium (Wednesday October 18).
The program and registration packets will be available in July.  We will
send another e-mail at that time.
