General Information

• Overview schedule for the conference (PDF format) - coming soon
• Location and Transportation
• Hot Springs, Virginia, is in the Appalachian Mountains in Western Virginia. Since at least the mid 18th century, travelers came to use the springs. Thomas Bullitt built the first inn to accommodate them in 1766 and Dr. Thomas Goode expanded it. The most prominent modern resort, The Homestead, traces its origin to this inn. 
• Those flying in most likely will arrive at the Roanoke, VA airport.  From there, it's about a 90 minute drive to the Homestead.
• We'll be posting additional travel options in the near future.
