I was in the Chicago area this past weekend as part of the Conference Committee. While I can’t tell you everything you may want to know about our summer conference, I can say that it looks like it will be the best program we’ve ever had!
So many great proposals make it easy to put together a conference program that is varied and relevant, but hard to winnow them down to the number of concurrent sessions we can run. I am confident every CSTA member will be able to find several sessions they don’t want to miss on this year’s agenda!
Pheasant Run Resort was under snow when I got there and decorated for the holidays, however, I could see that the resort has much to offer your family if you choose to bring them to the conference with you. Three pools, a golf course, a spa, and an indoor version of Bourbon Street are just the beginning. A full theater and comedy club as well as five different restaurants ranging from the award winning Harvest, serving gourmet cuisine with regional ingredients, to the fun Jambalaya for Cajun fare. The golf course is large and very close (it made a beautiful snow scene) and they have a Pro Shop in the Lounge. While we were there, the resort had many activities aimed at children, so I’m sure yours will find something fun to do while you are in the conference! I hope to see you there.
