We will be holding this event at the Williams Center located on the SUNY Fredonia Campus this year. The renovations are complete and they are happy to be hosting us again. The renovations are going to allow us to hold the entire conference within the Williams Center. There will be no need to be walking on icy pathwways or going in and out of the cold.
