Schedule

document iconThursday starts early with the annual Chapter Business Meeting, followed by two lecture sessions before lunch. Afterward, we head over to the State Capitol to meet with our elected officials during legislative session. Putting what we learned earlier to work, we'll advocate for issues important to our communities and our profession. Afterwards, we gather at "The Loft" for a chapter social including a presentation of awards. Click Program to read the details.

Registration

iconWe're offering simplified pricing for this year's conference, with a discount rate for students. Even a mobile workshop on Friday is included. The evening meal is on your own, allowing freedom to choose from downtown Baton Rouge's many restaurants.
Hotel Indigo will be our official hotel where we've reserved a block of rooms at a special rate. In the heart of downtown, its just a short walk to BRAC's (the Chamber of Commerce) new offices.

 

Venues

(Shuttle service is provided for the Center for River Studies mobile workshop.) We've got information about each venue, and a map of the locations to help you find your way! A downloadable recommending parking locations is forthcoming.

 

Sponsors
