About the Meeting
GSA IS GOING TO ROCK ERIE! The Northeastern and North-Central Sections are proud to host you at the
magnificent
Bayfront Landing campus, featuring two waterfront hotels and a spectacular convention center, 27-30
March 2025.
The harbor, visible all around, is bounded by Presque Isle State Park, a sand bar more than ten miles
long
sporting dynamic beaches, a palustrian plain, and a colorful history epitomized by Captain Oliver Hazard
Perry’s
victory at the Battle for Lake Erie. The geologic story includes evidence for a cascade of glaciations,
treacherous beach cliffs, maritime terraces, and captivating paleontology in the underlying Paleozoic
stratigraphy. Numerous field trips will explore these nearby features, including the engineering efforts
to
manage their associated hazards. Overprint this enchanting natural setting with bistros, eateries, and
entertainment venues within walking distance, and your visit will surely be memorable. Be sure to bring
your
parka and ski pants to enjoy a toasty walk upon the beaches, as the frigid winter winds will have
imparted a
chill into the sea!
Location
Bayfront Landing Convention Center and Beyond
The Bayfront Convention Center (Bayfront) is an outstanding venue! We are the only client under roof and
all
facilities lie at our directive. Bayfront anchors a shorefront redevelopment zone that includes both a
Courtyard
and Sheraton Hotel and sparkling meeting spaces sporting maritime views all around. All of the building
face
Erie Bay of Lake Erie and the spit of Presque Isle State Park, lodged upon a Wisconsinan recessional end
moraine
of the Laurentide Ice Sheet.
