Advance Registration Required
The Harry S. Truman Library and Museum in Independence, Missouri will be our conference venue. Register soon to avoid the late registration fees and save your spot for the Friday late afternoon guided tour of the library and museum and one of the Saturday afternoon tours. There will be no on-site registration.
The venue policy restricts the exchange of funds on the property. That policy requires us to make the following changes:
- No on-site registration
- No exhibits
- No auction
This year there is no conference guest room block. For guest room options, visit Where to Stay | City of Independence, MO.
