LOCATION

Thriving as a lively, college environment in the Flint Hills, Manhattan, Kansas, USA, is home to delectable dining destinations, a vibrant nightlife, and exciting outdoor adventures. Take a short walk from the conference venue to explore downtown shops and restaurants or learn about the local history and ecology at the Flint Hills Discovery Center. Borrow a bike from the local bike share program and cruise along the Kansas River on the Linear Park Trail. Whether you want to explore some of the last remnants of native tallgrass prairie, poke around in the Permian bedrock, or soar through the trees on zipline, Manhattan is a great starting point for a wide-range of adventures. We have assembled an exciting and diverse program for this first-of-its-kind triple region meeting and look forward to seeing you in Manhattan.
