It may not feel like fall quite yet, but in just a few short weeks October will be here – and it will finally be time for the Convention and Expo! Our Local Arrangements Committee can’t wait to welcome you back to Columbus and ensure you have a great Convention experience. Whether you want to venture out to explore the city or relax at the hotel with your colleagues, we have plenty of options for you when the sessions end for the day.
