2010 Annual Conference
October 23-26
Our conference this year will be held in Covington, Kentucky just across the river from Cincinnati, at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center. We will be using two hotels, the Marriott is directly connected with the conference center and the Embassy Suites is across the street. There are a multitude of restaurants within walking distance, and there is a trolley/shuttle system that connects with both Cincinnati and a restaurant/entertainment district. The shuttle also operates a regular trip from the airport to less than a block from the hotels for a very inexpensive price.
More information will be posted as it becomes available.
