there should be an easel with the name of our group. Stairs are
immediately on the right. The elevator (very small) is ¾ way down the
hall on the right beyond the easel. Our meeting room, Bouchard, is on

The conference affords many opportunities for writing, networking, or just appreciating the scenery. The rooms are on the Spartan side but the food and the conversation - or the solitude (your choice) - is plentiful. Activities include: formal workshops (see Schedule, informal "free-writes", drinking coffee and a Saturday night "share". We ask no more of you than an elementary respect for other conferees and what work you wish to share.
