Come see the NEW Park Hall!

Posted on by

Finally after 2+ years of renovation, Park hall will open this Fall!  We won’t be completely done, but we will offer building tours at the conference. Most conference presentations will be in Wilber hall and the commercial vendors will be in the brand new connector between Wilber and Shineman! We are almost done and we are greatly looking forward to our new spaces!
