Many of the people planning to attend will have their own personal research material with them, so come and bring yours, there will be lots to share. Maybe you will find something you have been looking for or get you through that "brick wall" that has stopped you for so long. Restaurants and accommodations are available in the area, so you can stay as long as you want, take in a little or a lot.
