Conference Atmosphere

This conference is designed to provide an opportunity to learn, share, and network in a professional, but comfortable atmosphere. Most meals and breaks are included in the price of registration, as are the outings. The conference is deliberately kept relatively small to enhance the opportunities for informal sharing.

The conference will take place at the Allen H. Neuharth Media Center on the campus of The University of South Dakota in Vermillion, South Dakota. Limited periodic shuttle service will be provided from the Sioux Falls, South Dakota airport on Wednesday evening, and returning to the airport Saturday evening or Sunday morning.

and come discuss with us the future of  the field.
