UW-Madison has been a wonderful setting for meetings in years past, and based on a polling of previous meeting participants we chose Madison to be the setting again for 2012. Most of the meeting will be held at the new Union South location (which just had its grand opening earlier last year (http://www.union.wisc.edu/visit-unionsouth.htm - see pictures at http://photos.news.wisc.edu/photos/list?search=union+south), with additional activities at the Memorial Union (by the famous lake and Terrace!).

We hope to see you in Madison!

Best,
