The conference will feature distinguished keynote speakers, innovative scholarly exchange opportunities, shared meals, receptions, as well as opportunities to experience Tucson’s unique desert and mountain environments. In July the weather will be hot during the day, but you can expect pleasant mornings and evenings, and the occasional cooling desert thunderstorm – it’s monsoon time! Wilderness areas of worldwide renown are nearby: Saguaro National Park and the Catalina Mountains are within a half hour drive of the city center, and the Grand Canyon is within driving distance. Tucson features numerous art and historical museums, fine restaurants, world-class golf, the University of Arizona and a truly multicultural environment.
