Agenda
Attendees list
We encourage you to arrive in Boise early and stay after the conference ends, in order to experience all the city has to offer. (You may be aware that Boise was recently ranked #2 on Lonely Planet’s list of best places to visit in the US in 2018 and recognized as one of the safest cities in the world. And here is a Washington Post article on things to do in the city.)
The conference takes place at the Boise Centre, located in the heart of downtown Boise. All of the hotels offering group rates for the conference are within walking distance of the Boise Centre as well as dozens of restaurants, shops, museums and cultural sites.
The Boise Greenbelt is a tree-lined pathway that follows the Boise River for 25 miles, providing scenic views of the river and native wildlife, particularly for bird-watchers, and pedestrian access to many of the city’s popular riverside parks.
Exploring by bike is an option, thanks to the Boise Green Bike program. Biking through Boise is one of the sponsored Tuesday afternoon activities, along with whitewater rafting on the Payette River , but the bikes are available at any time.
